Program Description

The Lloyd L. Gregory School of Pharmacy offers a relevant curriculum designed to prepare students to become dynamic and knowledgeable pharmacists who are servant leaders and patient advocates. We believe that in training future pharmacists, knowledge is a minimum competency; true impact comes through a personal and tangible investment into the lives of the patients. We accomplish these programmatic objectives through a multi-faceted approach:

Small Class Sizes: Our small class sizes create a personalized and nurturing learning environment, giving students direct access to faculty members. Your professors, advisor, and even the dean will know your name because we want you to be successful!

Personalized Support: Pharmacy school is difficult, and you shouldn't go through it alone! Our classes are intentionally held from Tuesday through Friday so that Mondays can be left open as Flexible Learning Days, giving students the opportunity to study, complete assignments, and prepare for the week.

Cutting-Edge Research: Many of our science faculty are actively engaging research initiatives, including nanoparticle technology, molecular microbiology of bacterial and viral infections, and others. Our clinical faculty actively pursue scholarly activities in the clinical setting.

Pharmacy with Faith: As a Christ-centered program, our holistic approach to pharmacy education has led to an outstanding reputation within the community. Employers often remark that our students not only excel clinically, they exude compassion! In partnership with the School’s Gregory Center for Medical Missions, pharmacy students have the opportunity to participate in medical mission work both locally and globally, providing health services to those with little to no access to healthcare.
