Program Description

St. Louis College of Pharmacy was founded in 1864 and is one of the oldest pharmacy colleges west of the Mississippi River. Over more than 160 years, it has grown from a single classroom into a respected community of pharmacy and health care professionals, educators, researchers, and leaders.

Its Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) program is designed to prepare students for a wide range of pharmacy careers, including community, hospital, industry, and other practice settings. Located within a major biomedical hub in St. Louis, the college emphasizes hands-on learning, leadership development, critical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication.

Key features include:

A 10:1 student-to-faculty ratio that promotes close faculty mentorship.
A curriculum focused on interprofessional, evidence-based, patient-centered care.
Preparation for graduates to become “team- and practice-ready” pharmacists.
Integrated study of pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, pathophysiology, and pharmacotherapeutics organized around organ systems and disease states.
Modern facilities with advanced classrooms, research spaces, and technology-enhanced learning environments.

Overall, the program aims to develop pharmacists who can work effectively within health care teams and achieve positive patient outcomes across diverse practice settings.
