About the School

With greater numbers of America’s population aging, and growing advances in medicine creating more pharmaceutical products, our country is facing a critical shortage in one area of health care delivery—qualified pharmacists.

The School of Pharmacy, which offers the Doctor of Pharmacy, comprises three academic units:

• The department of clinical and administrative sciences: comprises two types of faculty—those who are advanced pharmacy practitioners and those whose expertise include health care policy and advocacy, pharmacy practice management, public health, and other relevant social and administrative sciences.
• The department of pharmaceutical sciences: comprises faculty with expertise in pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutics and the biological sciences.
• The office of experiential education: responsible for the overall operation of introductory and advanced pharmacy practice experiences which spans the entire curriculum.
