Program Description
The University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy, founded in 1908, has consistently ranked in the top 20 of all pharmacy schools in the nation, and this year is ranked 6th among all pharmacy schools for research funding. Students spend the first two years of the professional degree program in Oxford, the third year at the University of Mississippi Medical Center campus in Jackson, and the final year in practice experiences in multiple states and international sites. The 2018 graduate pass rate on the NAPLEX was >95%, and tuition remains among the lowest of public schools and colleges of pharmacy.
