The Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy, a part of Rutgers Health and aligned with Rutgers University–New Brunswick, is a close-knit, mission-driven, and research-intensive school within one of the nation’s largest and most comprehensive academic health centers. Students and faculty of the pharmacy school are dedicated to excellence in health care and biomedical education, innovative and visionary research and scholarship in the pharmaceutical sciences, exemplary clinical practice, and outreach community services that address the needs of the citizens of New Jersey and society at large.
The six-year Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) at Rutgers program begins with two years of pre-professional study and moves seamlessly into four years of professional training. Rutgers is home to one of the country’s few 0-6 PharmD programs, meaning students can enter directly from high school or transfer from a two- or four-year college into the first professional year.
With pass rates near 100% on the pharmacy licensure exam, our PharmD graduates are well positioned to launch rewarding careers or to pursue advanced study at the nation’s best graduate and professional schools.
Innovative dual-degree options for PharmD students provide accelerated pathways to careers in the healthcare professions and in the pharmaceutical industry.
