Pharmacy School Finder is a free directory of every accredited Doctor of Pharmacy program in the United States. It is built for people comparing schools: tuition, class size, application deadlines, NAPLEX pass rates and admission requirements, side by side, with no account and no form to fill in first.
Who runs this site
Established in 2018, Pharmacy School Finder is an independent project created to make researching PharmD programs simpler and more transparent. Information about pharmacy schools is often scattered across accreditation databases, application portals, and individual university websites, making meaningful comparisons unnecessarily difficult.
Our small team maintains the site independently and contributes its time without drawing salaries from the project. Our goal is straightforward: bring useful information about PharmD programs together in one place so prospective students can more easily research, compare, and understand their options.
The team:
Emily Carter, MPH
Director of Research & Content
Emily oversees school data, editorial standards, and consumer education content. She has more than 10 years of experience developing health and higher-education resources, with a focus on making complex information easier for prospective students to understand.
Lauren Mitchell, M.Ed.
Director of Student Resources
Lauren brings a background in higher-education advising and enrollment services. She helps shape the site’s school comparison tools, application resources, and guidance for students exploring pharmacy education and career pathways.
Sarah Bennett, PharmD
Clinical & Education Advisor
Sarah is a licensed pharmacist with experience in community pharmacy and pharmacy education. She reviews clinical and profession-related content for accuracy and helps ensure the site’s resources reflect the realities of pharmacy training and practice.
Daniel Brooks, MBA
Director of Digital Products
Daniel leads the development and ongoing improvement of the site’s search, comparison, and school-discovery tools. His background includes digital product management, consumer research, and building online platforms that help users make complex educational decisions.

What’s included
The directory lists 147 ACPE-accredited PharmD programs: 144 across 48 states, plus Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the Lebanese American University in Beirut, which also holds ACPE accreditation. Delaware and Vermont have no PharmD program at all.
We follow the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education, which is the only accreditor of PharmD programs in the United States. Accreditation is the line that matters, because only graduates of an accredited program can sit the NAPLEX and get licensed. As of our most recent check:
- 144 programs hold full accreditation
- 2 hold full accreditation with probationary status
- 1 is a candidate program, not yet fully accredited
Each program’s status is shown on its own page. Where a school runs campuses or pathways with genuinely different tuition, class sizes and deadlines, we give each one its own page rather than averaging them into a single entry. That is why LECOM appears three times, for Erie, Bradenton and its distance pathway, and MCPHS three times for Boston, Worcester and Manchester. Where the campuses share one admissions process and one set of figures, they stay on one page with the locations noted.
Where the data comes from
Each figure on a school page comes from a published source, named on the page next to it.
| Data | Source | Current as of |
| Accreditation status | ACPE directory of accredited programs | July 2026 |
| Tuition, in-state and out-of-state | AACP Pharmacy School Tuition Survey, first professional year | 2022–23 academic year |
| Class size | PharmCAS school directory, most recent filled seats | 2027 application cycle |
| Deadlines and requirements | PharmCAS directory and each school’s admissions pages | 2027 application cycle |
| NAPLEX first-attempt pass rates | NABP, NAPLEX Passing Rates for 2023–2025 Graduates | March 2026 |
| Pharmacist pay and job outlook | U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook | May 2025 |
A word on tuition. The AACP survey is the most recent one that covers every program on the same basis, which makes it the fairest way to compare schools against each other. Current tuition is usually higher, so confirm costs with the school before you budget. Where a school publishes newer official figures we use those and say so on the page, as with the University of New England’s 2026–27 rates.
How we keep it accurate
One master dataset. Every fact lives in one place, and each page that displays it, whether that is a school page, a state page, the directory or the map, is generated from that one record. This is why a state’s program count cannot disagree with the schools actually listed underneath it.
Automated checks. After each update a validation script compares the live site against the master dataset and flags any count, tuition figure or class size that has drifted.
Refreshes tied to the source. We re-check PharmCAS data when a new application cycle opens, NAPLEX rates when NABP publishes them, and accreditation status against the ACPE directory. Each page shows when its figures were last checked.
None of that makes us infallible. Programs change deadlines and requirements constantly, and we are four people doing this around our actual jobs.
Found something wrong?
Tell us. Email [email protected] with a link to the page and what the correct information is. A link to the school’s own page showing the change helps us verify it faster. We aim to fix confirmed errors within five business days.
How the site is funded
Pharmacy School Finder is free to use. Schools do not pay to be listed, and there is no way to pay for placement, a better position, or a more favorable description.
The site carries a tool that lets students request information from online PharmD programs. When someone uses it, the site may earn a small amount, and that revenue is what covers hosting and the data work. It is modest, none of us takes a salary from it, and it has no bearing on which schools appear, how they are described, or the order they are listed in. Rankings follow published sources, never payment.
We do not sell personal information. Our privacy policy sets out what we collect and why.
Accessibility
We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 AA, so the site should work with a screen reader, by keyboard alone, and on a phone. If something does not work for you, email [email protected] and tell us what broke and how you were using the site. That is more useful to us than a general complaint, and we will fix it.
