Program Description

The Doctor of Pharmacy program at the Jefferson College of Pharmacy (JCP) is designed to prepare students for professional practice as a pharmacist. In addition to the depth of information learned from courses in the curriculum, students enhance their understanding of this knowledge through direct application and extra-curricular activities.

Direct application of knowledge occurs in case-based learning, experiential opportunities, and through interprofessional education opportunities.

JCP has designed the curricular experience to build with each class, to develop critical thinking skills, and to assess comprehension. JCP is proud of our graduates NAPLEX pass rates for first time test takers, as multiple classes have had a 100% pass rate and the majority have exceeded 90% and the national average.

JCP students gain direct hands-on experience in pharmacies every semester, beginning right from the start of the first year. Students will experience different practice settings each semester allowing for maximum exposure to future career options.

As a JCP student, you are part of a community of health science learners. Jefferson has an outstanding commitment to interprofessional education with a dedicated center that provides patient-centered programming and education for our students.

At the conclusion of the educational journey, our students are ready to seamlessly enter the profession. We are proud that those seeking post-graduate training have matched at or above the national average. You are invited to come, learn and contribute to the Jefferson experience!
