Program Description

The mission of the Xavier University of Louisiana College of Pharmacy is to prepare pharmacists to impact the medically underserved communities, particularly African Americans, in an effort to eliminate health disparities through patient-centered care, community service, and scholarly work.

The clinical component is designed to develop graduates skilled in monitoring and evaluating drug therapy, providing drug distribution, providing drug information to other members of the health care team and to the public and effectively relating to patients and to other health care professionals.

The college provides an opportunity to engage in meaningful scientific research as preparation for further study in the pharmaceutical and clinical sciences.

To be eligible for the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree, a student must have pursued college level work for six years (four of these in the College of Pharmacy) and have completed a minimum of 57 semester hours of pre-pharmacy course work. The student must have a 2.00 grade point average for courses attempted in the four-year professional curriculum.
