Our Pharm.D. program is a 0 – 6 program, which means once you’re in, keeping your spot is all up to you. And our four-year B.S.P.S. degree provides you with specialized training that will make you highly sought after by pharmaceutical and life science industries. You will feel a strong sense of community here—and not just among your pharmacy peers. We strongly encourage cross-disciplinary teaching and learning, so you can study pharmaceutical engineering, double-major in pharmacy and a language, or work with scientists in the environmental and physical sciences, nursing and social sciences. Our $75 million state-of-the-art facility supports leading-edge teaching, research, and service activities. I was really able to grow as an individual while surrounding myself with some of the most passionate and caring people I have ever met.

We are building community
The feeling of being at home. Pharmacy is probably the most close-knit major on this campus. It’s great to walk around the building and be welcomed by students and faculty who know your name.

We are opening new doors.
Our faculty use teaching tools such as real-time video conferencing and clicker technology, as well as 3D projection, animation and printing, allowing you to visualize complex drug actions. Our new building also features a sophisticated patient simulation lab, where you can work alongside fellow pharmacy students and pharmacists, as well as students and professionals from other disciplines. The new state-of-the-art building with its core laboratories and array of modern equipment is always a place you will want to be.
Ojiugo Charity Omeoga ’15, B.S.P.S. / Biology Graduate
We are teaching with technology
Our faculty and students are conducting the highest quality research in pharmaceutical, biomedical, clinical, and population-based sciences. We’re also going deep into the forest—and the ocean—to find natural substances that could prevent and fight disease. Target areas include cancer, aging, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, HIV, infectious diseases, and disability. The program is challenging but I love learning about drug metabolism, developing treatments for diseases, and being a part of research within the college.
