Care
In the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (COPHS), we recognize that healthcare is much more than simply treating disease. And, as such, we teach students to think bigger.
Through hands-on learning in the classroom, collaborative research with faculty, and clinical experiences with some of the nation’s largest healthcare organizations, we equip students with the knowledge—and skills—to improve health outcomes.
Whether you graduate as a pharmacist, a PA, a healthcare executive, or something else, you’ll be prepared to improve the quality of life of the patients, and community, you serve.

“COPHS combines personal attention with experiential learning, providing an environment where risks can be taken in a safe space. COPHS also takes a committed approach to its curriculum. I have a newfound appreciation for what a quality, patient-centered healthcare system entails, thanks to courses such as Intro to Healthcare, Healthcare Systems and Policy, and Healthcare Quality. ”
