  program_description: |-
    The role of the pharmacist is changing and the Western New England University Doctor of Pharmacy program prepares you to be a part of that future. As the practice of pharmacy transitions, WNE is meeting the moment through a comprehensive and adaptable online curriculum.

    The College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences is offering a full-time, online distance pathway to the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree. Offered as a high-quality online alternative to our campus-based Doctor of Pharmacy program, the PharmD distance pathway will allow you to pursue a career in pharmacy wherever you are and with more flexibility to meet life’s demands. As an ideal program for the self-motivated student, you’ll work through the same curriculum as our campus-based program, and there is no added time to degree completion.
