Program Description

At the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, everything we do begins and ends with the patient in mind. As the No. 1 pharmacy school in the country, our mission is to advance medicine for life by discovering the medicines of tomorrow, maximizing the benefit of medicines of today and training the next generation of pharmacists.

Our transformative curriculum provides students with foundational concepts before they enter the classroom. These concepts are later applied through student-to-student and student-to-faculty interactions. Immersion experiences in patient care begin immediately following year one and will continue through year four. Fourth year students can also select an international rotation in one of nine practice sites. Our students are involved in vibrant co-curricular experiences through student organizations that enhance their learning, growth and development in the classroom. They staff two indigent care clinics, host health fairs and hold leadership positions in local, state and national organizations.

We also offer a dual campus model with campuses in Chapel Hill and Asheville. One school, two campuses, same degree. All students complete their PY1 foundational year on the Chapel Hill campus where they explore careers in pharmacy and learn about both campuses. During the PY1 year, students designate their choice for one of the campuses, each of which offers a distinct but comparable experience. All students, regardless of campus, receive their degree from the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy.

We look forward to introducing you to our community! To learn more, visit: https://pharmacy.unc.edu/
