At Purdue University, the modern practice of pharmacy emerges from an educational program deep in tradition and built upon a strong foundation of science. The School was established in 1884. The faculty have since trained over 7,000 pharmacists, and over 1,000 pharmaceutical scientists and educators. Twenty-five percent of all Deans of Schools of Pharmacy in the United States are either Purdue alumni or former Purdue faculty members. Purdue alumni are well represented throughout many departments and divisions of companies in the pharmaceutical industry.
Our major training programs are the Doctor of Pharmacy, the Bachelor of Science in the Pharmaceutical Sciences, or the Doctor of Philosophy in each of the disciplines upon which pharmacy is based. The faculty have created a learning environment designed to accomplish specific educational outcomes. Students graduating from our programs possess excellent communication skills, have a well-developed sense of values, appreciate cultural diversity, and combine a complete understanding of pharmacy and the pharmaceutical sciences with an attitude of life-long learning.
