Program Description
California Northstate University College of Pharmacy located just outside of Sacramento offers multiple early assurance pathways for entry into the Doctor of Pharmacy program, including a 0-6 pharmacy program. CNUCOP provides unique learning experiences to our students through the use of active learning to deliver our curriculum and is dedicated to educating and training future pharmacists to provide competent, evidence-based care focused on improving patient outcomes and advancing the pharmacy profession. Through a variety of interprofessional activities, in collaboration with the College of Medicine and Sacramento State University School of Nursing, our students learn how to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary care team.
Two combined degree programs (the Executive Masters of Business Administration/PharmD and the Masters of Pharmaceutical Sciences/PharmD) are offered at CNUCOP. Additionally, our robust experiential program provides opportunities for 4th-year pharmacy students to complete rotations throughout California.
