Pharmacy has bigger goals. So can you.
More states are expanding the role of pharmacists—and that means there’s more opportunities to make a bigger, direct impact in the health of individuals and communities. This is the age of the empowered pharmacist—and the Duquesne University School of Pharmacy will get you ready to be essential health care problem solvers and team members.
A clear, seamless path to the professional phase
Join Duquesne's School of Pharmacy through the Direct Entry option and experience a seamless transition from your first two pre-professional years to the exciting professional phase, spanning years three through six of our comprehensive six-year program, all when you meet our criteria. Our guaranteed seat in the professional phase ensures you won't have to compete for spots with fellow pre-professional students, allowing you to concentrate solely on your personal growth as a future empowered pharmacist.
Relationships and community matter here
Because our program is smaller in size, you’ll have more meaningful mentoring relationships with faculty—and build lifelong friendships and professional networks. This emphasis on community becomes part of your professional identity, too: Duquesne graduates know how to gain and keep the trust of their patients, and they know how to collaborate in today’s team-based health care environment.
