University of the Pacific - Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy

University of the Pacific’s Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy is home to the Pre-Pharmacy Advantage Program, a newly launched bachelor of science in pharmaceutical science (pending WASC approval), an accelerated three-year Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program and a graduate Pharmaceutical and Chemical Sciences Program (PCSP), as well as several pharmacy fellowship programs. Since 1955, we have been training pharmacists and scientists who are problem-solvers, innovators and leaders. When choosing Pacific’s PharmD program, students become part of our legacy of excellence and leadership. The skill set and clinical experience Pacific PharmD students gain opens doors to the many settings where pharmacists play a key role, from hospitals to pharmaceutical research and development. With our one-of-a-kind pharmacy licensing preparation immersion program, we get graduates into their careers faster and better prepared for success. Pacific grads who took the inaugural program in 2023 passed the exam at an average rate of 83%—higher than every other pharmacy school in California. All at no cost to Pacific graduates. Our Pharmaceutical and Chemical Sciences Program prepares students for a career in the increasingly complex and integrated realms of pharmaceutical, chemical and biotechnological research. Students earn either a master of science or a doctor of philosophy in pharmaceutical and chemical sciences in one of five highly sought-after focus areas.
