Pharmacists don’t just stand behind a counter and count pills, so why should your pharmacy education be just about the textbook or lecture? At ÁùºÏ±¦¿â, we are teaching innovative practices for the future of pharmacy—in and out of the classroom.
Our emphasis on patient care, team-based learning, creative thinking, and communication skills helps students become leaders, and the hands-on experiences you can gain in the many different fields of pharmacy—both in the United States and around the world—prepare you for a successful career in the industry. Plus, you can enhance your future opportunities with a dual-degree or concentration to develop your expertise.
