Dear Diana: Today's pharmacist is involved in much more than dispensing medication. The provision of services such as point-of-care health screenings, immunizations, and medication therapy management have been integrated in the delivery of optimal patient care. In addition to traditional career pathways rooted in community and hospital practice, pharmacy graduates can pursue opportunities in home health care, specialty meds, consulting, managed care, nuclear pharmacy, informatics, and specialized clinical practice, among many others.
Our Mylan School of Pharmacy has earned an outstanding national reputation for scholarship and excellence in professional education. In fact, Duquesne ranks third in the nation among all private schools of pharmacy for the amount of research funding it attracts annually from the National Institutes of Health.
And, you can feel confident knowing that if you are accepted to the Pre-Professional Phase (years 1-2) of our Pharmacy program you will be automatically enrolled in our Early Assurance Admission Plan. Early assurance means that you'll earn a spot in the Professional Phase (years 3-6) of our Pharmacy program if you meet certain requirements during Pre-Professional years 1 and 2.
With a 99+ percent annual job placement rate, pharmacy is the right prescription for a promising future! Duquesne is in a small group of top-tier universities as defined by U.S. News & World Report. Here, you'll find:
- Hands-on learning experiences with over 450 pharmacy practice opportunities
- Small classes and innovative technologies in our classrooms, laboratories, libraries, residence halls, and other public spaces
- Financial aid and scholarships that exceed $173 million each year. And for Pharmacy majors, Academic Scholarship eligibility applies to all six years of the program
- A beautiful, self-contained campus with ready access to the city of Pittsburgh
- 200 extracurricular activities - including a number of exciting, Pharmacy-specific professional organizations
Duquesne University is a wonderful place to learn and live, and we think you'll agree. Apply for admission today - there is no application fee!
