PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The College of Pharmacy was established by the State Board of Education on August 11, 1956, and continues to serve as Louisiana’s sole State supported Pharmacy Program. The College of Pharmacy continues to evolve to meet the health care needs of the State’s population, and in 1998, began to offer the Doctor of Pharmacy degree as its sole entry level professional pharmacy degree.
The College also offers the State’s only masters and doctor of philosophy degrees in the areas of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences. The Bachelor of Science program in Toxicology was initiated in 1982 and is one of only six programs in the country.
The College of Pharmacy currently includes three academic departments - Basic Pharmaceutical Sciences, Clinical and Administrative Sciences, and Toxicology. Satellite campuses are available for advanced practice experiences in Shreveport and Baton Rouge. The Doctor of Pharmacy program in the College of Pharmacy is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education. The College of Pharmacy is a member of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, an organization whose mission is to promote pharmaceutical education and research.
