Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences Quick Facts

Duration: 2-3 Years Courses: 63 Faculty: 15
Est. Applications: 1583 Acceptance Rate: 25% Est. Class Size: 395

Program Description

Our Colchester, VT campus is located just outside of Burlington, within 1.5 hours of Montreal. It is the only school of pharmacy in the state. Nestled in a valley along the banks of Lake Champlain between the Green Mountain and the Adirondack Mountain ranges, the setting provides an enriching complement of natural beauty and cutting-edge innovation. Nearby is the city of Burlington, a bustling community known for numerous quality of life awards, health care breakthroughs at the University of Vermont Medical Center, biomedical startups, farm-to-table restaurants, and some of the best craft breweries in the country.

The students at our Vermont campus, where each entering class is typically less than 40 students, share a close relationship with the surrounding community. For example, in the spring of 2016, ACPHS students teamed with the Vermont Pharmacists Association to influence legislation of S.243, which has since been signed into law. This expands the role of Vermont pharmacists as healthcare providers and in the prevention of opioid abuse.

ACPHS was recently ranked the #1 value added college nationally by a report from the Brookings Institution of 3,173 colleges and #2 for average salaries 10 years after enrollment by the College Scorecard.

Visit our website to learn more about the 3-year accelerated program offered on our Vermont campus or the 4-year pharmacy program offered on our New York campus.
