Overview

The College of Pharmacy is located on the Health Sciences Campus of the University and is in proximity to the University Hospital and Clinics, the Eccles Health Sciences Library, the School of Medicine, and the College of Nursing as well as research facilities such as the Biomedical Polymers Research Building and the Huntsman Cancer Institute. The Health Sciences campus offers a rich source of educational and research opportunities for students who are interested in several career pathways. A long-standing relationship with the Department of Pharmacy Services in the University Hospital and Clinics and with several clinical services within the University of Utah Health System enhances the breadth and scope of educational opportunities for our students.

Educational degree programs offered by the College include:

Doctor of Pharmacy Degree (Pharm.D.)
Medicinal Chemistry (Ph.D.)
Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical Chemistry (Ph.D.)
Pharmacology and Toxicology (Ph.D.)

An option to pursue the Pharm.D. degree and Ph.D. degrees in parallel is also available for students interested in career opportunities related to both pharmacy practice and research. Information about the Pharm.D. program is available from the Office of Student Affairs and information about the Ph.D. degree in each discipline is available from that academic department. In addition, several post-graduate educational opportunities are provided, such as residencies and fellowship programs.

Faculty members in the College are recognized for their expertise, their commitment to education, research and service, their contributions to the Utah economy, and their responsibility to provide a work force of pharmacists and pharmaceutical and biomedical scientists for Utah and the nation.

The College is comprised of four academic departments:

  • Medicinal Chemistry,
  • Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical Chemistry,
  • Pharmacology and Toxicology,
  • and
  • Pharmacotherapy.
Additional information about the educational and research opportunities provided by each department can be found by the links at this site. In addition to these academic departments, there are several centers and programs within the College that support the academic mission and provide educational opportunities. These include the Anticonvulsant Drug Development Program, the Center for Controlled Chemical Delivery, the Utah Poison Control Center, the Center for Human Toxicology, the Utah Addiction Center, the Cell Signaling Center, the Center for Therapeutic Biomaterials, the Pharmacotherapy Outcomes Research Center, and the Pediatric Pharmacotherapy Program.
