You can start and finish your degree in a small, beautiful place. You can thrive in a supportive environment. Your learning and research will take place in brand new facilities, with access to cutting edge technology. We could keep going, but we'll let you look around and see for yourself.

We Are Investing in You.

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.

We Are Building Community.

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.

We Are Opening New Doors.

Our new $75 million state-of-the-art facility will support leading-edge teaching, research, and service activities. A key feature is a $6 million good manufacturing process facility, where you will learn best practices in drug product testing for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and private pharmaceutical companies.

We Are Teaching With Technology.

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.

We Are Leading Research.

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.
