    Co-op = More Experience: We are the only US school of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences with a cooperative education (co-op) program. Students complete 2 full-time, 6-month, paid co-op experiences, providing more than 4 times the number of IPPE hours as compared to most PharmD programs. 

    Partnerships: Co-op is rooted in our proximity to Boston's top-ranked institutions. Clinical affiliation includes major medical schools, world-renowned hospitals, research facilities, community pharmacies, biotech, & private healthcare. Northeastern also offers a variety of post-PharmD research fellowships with innovative industry partners. 

    Research: ranked #1 in the nation among private schools of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences in NIH funding 

    Success: Passing the NAPLEX, placement in residencies/fellowships, passing the NAPLEX, securing employment, pursuing advanced degrees: our students succeed 
    Northeastern University's 2025 NAPLEX first-time pass rate is 93.8%, surpassing state and national averages by 14% and 8%, respectively. 

    Of the students pursuing post-grad training in 2026, 76.9% secured a position in a post-grad year 1 (PGY1) residency similar to the national average match rate at 76%.  95% secured a post-grad year 2 (PGY2) residency which exceeds the national average match rate of 85.6%. 

    From the class of 2025, 97% of graduates* were employed within 12 months of graduation, with 78% employed before graduation or within 1 month after.

    * Survey respondents eligible for US Employment
