Doctor of Pharmacy Admissions
More than dispenser of medicine, pharmacists today are educators who play a vital role in patient care. The Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program prepares students to be active participants in their role of "Pharmacists as Educators" through our highly personal educational experiences that include both an on-campus and online distance pathway.
In our four-year program, you will learn the technical, social, and administrative aspects of pharmacy and develop the skills needed to become a healthcare leader. The curriculum uses today’s best practices to enhance your learning and provide you with firsthand experience in our technologically advanced labs, in various types of pharmacy settings, and through service opportunities in the community. As a graduate of our program, you will be a trained pharmacy practitioner, ready to provide care to an increasingly diverse patient population in an assortment of environments.
