Program Description

The pharmacy profession is evolving, and NDMU is helping to push that evolution. Our Pharmacy Studies program combines the latest practices and philosophies with a distinct focus on leadership development, and it lays the foundation to further your pursuit of the field through our Doctor of Pharmacy program.

Moreover, at NDMU, you will experience a low student-to-faculty ratio and learn from supportive faculty across the spectrum of clinical, administrative, and pharmaceutical science. Plus, our location in Baltimore (and nearby Washington, D.C.) provides a wealth of opportunities for experiential learning, including rotations at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, FDA, NIH, and other world-class organizations.

What to Expect Studying at Notre Dame of Maryland University

Small class sizes, faculty mentoring, and hands-on experiences offer an environment of individualized learning while collaborative research opportunities enhance the student experience.

Innovation Grounded in Experience
Our Pharm.D. program reflects the most up-to-date practices and philosophies in the field, shaped by administrators and faculty with comprehensive research expertise and experience delivering care nationwide.

Exceptional Facilities
Many classroom and facilities on campus have been renovated or constructed especially for the School of Pharmacy, including the newly completed 25,000 square foot G. Avery Bunting Hall, which brings the total campus space to 40,000 square feet in support of the School. Technology rich classrooms, laboratories and office space support the work of students, faculty and staff.
