Program Description
At the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, everything we do begins and ends with the patient in mind. As the No. 1 pharmacy school in the country, our mission is to advance medicine for life by discovering the medicines of tomorrow, maximizing the benefit of medicines of today and training the next generation of pharmacists.
Our campuses, located in Chapel Hill and Asheville, NC, offer students the same outstanding Doctor of Pharmacy program. Chapel Hill is situated in the Research Triangle, a region in central North Carolina anchored by UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke University and North Carolina State University, while Asheville is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina.
Our curriculum features re-engineered classroom experiences and earlier and continuous immersion opportunities. Fourth year students can also select an international rotation in one of nine practice sites.
Our students are involved in vibrant co-curricular experiences through student organizations that enhance their learning, growth and development in the classroom. They staff two indigent care clinics, host health fairs and hold leadership positions in local, state and national organizations.
