PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Butler University is a private, comprehensive university with 4000 full-time students enrolled in five colleges: Liberal Arts and Sciences, Education, Business Administration, Fine Arts and Pharmacy and Health Sciences. Pharmacy education at Butler University is built upon a strong liberal arts and science foundation and stems from an education program rich in tradition. Butler’s College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences has been educating pharmacists for more than 100 years and is one of a select group of private universities that has a pharmacy program. Butler offers the six-year Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm D.) program that qualifies the graduate for licensure as a pharmacist following successful completion of the national licensure examination, NAPLEX. The Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum prepares students for the practice of pharmacy in all professional environments including community, hospital, industry and government.
Our mission is to provide effective educational experiences in the health sciences. By so doing, the College facilitates the development of life-long learners with a liberal arts foundation who are able to serve society as dedicated, competent health professionals and community leaders. We take pride in:
- The third-highest NAPLEX pass rate in the country and the number one private institution over the past five years. Our first-attempt pass rate in 99.26%.
- 100% job placement for our pharmacy graduates
- Our completely renovated facilities with technologically updated classrooms and laboratories
Because of your size and location, our students have access to excellent and highly diverse clinical experience opportunities.
The program implemented its Mobile Computing Initiative in the Fall of 2005, which provides tablet pc computers with wireless network access and on-campus support to all students when they enter the first professional year (3rd year) of the program.
During the fourth professional year or the sixth year of the program, students assist in providing patient care while on 10 one-month rotations in community and hospital pharmacies and clinics. Students participate as part of medical teams during these clinical experiences, and there are numerous choices for the type and location of rotations at excellent sites in Indiana and throughout the nation.
The College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences is a member of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. The professional pharmacy degree program is accredited by the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education.
