Program Description
University of Charleston School of Pharmacy’s mission is to prepare pharmacy leaders dedicated to making a positive impact on their communities. Our students forge lasting connections and expand their horizons while creating meaningful understanding and impact in 6 core areas: leadership, advocacy, public health, interprofessional experience, cultural awareness, and innovation.
Our award-winning faculty nurture students to provide the highest standard of culturally sensitive, interprofessional patient care, with an emphasis on underserved populations. We believe that the best thing we can offer our students is an opportunity to become their best — to provide experiences that broaden their viewpoint and support to help them achieve their dreams.
HIGHLIGHTS:
SMALL SCHOOL ATMOSPHERE: an intimate learning environment with an average class size of 30 students and a 5:1 student to faculty ratio. We use an appreciative advising model where faculty provide personalized guidance to students, tailoring curricular and co-curricular plans to your career goals.
DIVERSITY AND SAFETY: Ranked #1 in diversity and campus safety in the state, UC is home to students from over 40 states and countries. Our students learn alongside peers from rich, diverse backgrounds, making them better pharmacists and people.
HANDS ON EXPERIENCE: Immerse yourself in our dynamic, technology-infused program with nearly 2,000 experiential hours and built-in certifications. From local opportunities in West Virginia to diverse experiences in places like Alaska and Puerto Rico, gain valuable experience at renowned institutions such as the Cleveland Clinic, FDA, CDC, and Indian Health Services.
