Doctor of Pharmacy

Our four-year, intensive program will equip you the education and experience you need to become a practicing pharmacist.

Our innovative problem-based learning curriculum gives you the opportunity to solve real-life problems in a small group setting. This means fewer lectures and more hands-on learning to prepare you for your career. You’ll also participate in 40 weeks of clinical rotations to further build your skills and knowledge.
