While most students come from high school, we have a limited number of transfer students into the P1 year. The curriculum stresses critical thinking, active learning and clinical experience to prepare you for practice in a variety of settings. Graduates of our program have a strong record of passing the national licensing examination (NAPLEX). Average score over the past five years is above 90 percentage for graduates taking the exam for the first time. Amongst graduates of the last five years, more than 96% reported pharmacy related employment by September following graduation on their AACP graduating student survey. For the class of 2023, over 50% of graduates were accepted to either a residency or fellowship training program. Job responsibilities vary from staff pharmacists, manager, clinical specialist, consultant, executive, to professor. Ninety-eight percent of graduates indicate that they would select the URI College of Pharmacy if they were starting their pharmacy programs over again.
