A Pioneer in Healthcare
As our alumni know, we teach students in the School of Pharmacy and Health Professions to care for their patients compassionately, treating each one as a whole person and striving to make a difference in every life.
The school is a pioneer in healthcare. We offered the first distance-based Doctor of Pharmacy degree (PharmD) pathway, the first entry-level clinical doctorate in physical therapy and one of the first post-baccalaureate Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) programs in the country.
- Nearly 100% first-time national licensure pass rates for pharmacy, OT and PT over the past several years
- 20+ international fieldwork and experiential learning sites.
- One of 10 schools nationally that has developed a medication therapy management (MTM) center in partnership with a national MTM administrator.
