Program Description
-------------------
Program Description:
Touro College of Pharmacy (TCOP) is proud to be the only four-year PharmD program located in the heart of Manhattan—Times Square, the iconic "crossroads of the world." Our new home at Three Times Square places students at the center of one of the most dynamic healthcare and cultural hubs in the country, with access to leading medical institutions, community organizations, and diverse patient populations. Our strong commitment to the community continues to grow, extending our impact throughout New York City and beyond.

At TCOP, we offer a distinctive, hands-on education rooted in community service, cultural awareness, and real-world experience.

Our innovative 2.5+1.5 curriculum sets us apart providing students with nine clinical rotations (54 weeks!), placing us among the top PharmD programs in the country for experiential learning. With small class sizes and a low 10:1 student-to-faculty ratio, students benefit from close mentorship, personalized support, and meaningful opportunities to connect with experienced faculty and healthcare professionals.

What else sets us apart? Our PharmD/MPH and PharmD/MBA collaborative degrees, our 3 distinct tracks where students can focus on research, managed care or advanced patient care.
We are deeply committed to preparing students to become leaders in communication, population health, and community engagement. 
At TCOP, you’re more than a student—you’re part of our “pharmily.”

While many of our students hold a bachelor’s degree, only 67 undergraduate credits are required to apply.

Our results speak for themselves—with a 99% employment rate and a NAPLEX performance that consistently ranks TCOP #1 in NYC and #2 in New York State, keeping pace with the national average.

We encourage you to attend one of our monthly Info Sessions or request a 1-1 session with us https://tcop.touro.edu/admissions--aid/contact/
