Colleges of Pharmacy Overview

Colleges of pharmacy are higher education institutions dedicated to the

training and education of students who wish to become pharmacists

or related pharmacy professionals. These schools provide both

undergraduate and graduate-level education, focusing on the study of

pharmaceutical sciences, clinical pharmacy, and healthcare delivery,

preparing students for careers across various pharmacy practice settings.

Colleges of pharmacy play a critical role in the development of skilled,

knowledgeable pharmacists who are equipped to meet the challenges of

an evolving healthcare landscape.

Quick Facts

• There are approximately 141 accredited schools of pharmacy throughout the U.S.

• Generally, the average class sizes range from 70 to 120 students per cohort.

• The standard Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program is a 4-year professional degree that follows completion

of undergraduate prerequisite coursework. Some schools offer accelerated 6-year programs that combine pre-

pharmacy coursework with the traditional 4-year PharmD curriculum.

• A number of pharmacy students pursue residencies and fellowships after graduation.

• To become licensed pharmacists, graduates from accredited schools of pharmacy must pass the NAPLEX Exam,

state law exams (select states and territories do not require state law exams), and complete a mandated number

of experiential education hours.

Key Components

1. Curriculum:

• Pre-Pharmacy: Foundational coursework in subjects like biology, chemistry, and mathematics.

• Pharmacy Professional Program: Advanced training in areas such as pharmacology, pharmacotherapy, drug

delivery, clinical practice, pharmacy law, and ethics.

• Specialized Tracks: Some schools may offer tracks or concentrations in areas such as patient care research,

pharmaceutical sciences, or regulatory affairs.

2. Degrees Offered:

• Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD): The primary professional degree required to become a licensed pharmacist.

• Master or PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences: Advanced degrees focusing on research and development in areas like

drug design, formulation, or regulatory sciences.

3. Accreditation:

• Schools of pharmacy must be accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) in the U.S.

4. Experiential Education:

• Clinical rotations in a variety of required pharmacy settings (e.g., hospitals, community pharmacies, ambulatory

care) where students gain hands-on experience under the supervision of licensed professionals (preceptors).

• Clinical rotations are typically 6 weeks each (40 hours per week) and comprise the entire final year of pharmacy

school (6-8 rotation sites). Some schools of pharmacy offer more frequent but shorter rotations (i.e., ten 4-week

rotations).

5. Research

• Many schools of pharmacy are involved in pharmaceutical research, contributing to advances in drug development,

therapeutic strategies, and healthcare innovation.

6. Licensure Preparation:

• The curriculum prepares students for the national licensure exam (NAPLEX) and state-specific law exams.

PharmD Degree Pathways Overview

The Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree is a professional graduate-level

degree that qualifies individuals to become licensed pharmacists in the

U.S. PharmD programs are 4-year programs structured to provide students

with the clinical knowledge, scientific foundation, and professional training

necessary to deliver patient-centered care and manage medication use

across various healthcare environments. Admission typically requires

completion of prerequisite coursework in subjects such as biology,

chemistry, and physics. Many applicants hold a bachelor’s degree in a

related field.

Program Options May Include:

1. Traditional 4-Year Tracks

• A traditional PharmD pathway is a 4-year doctoral program that combines pharmacy coursework with hands-on

clinical rotations to prepare students for licensure as pharmacists.

2. Accelerated Pathway

• An accelerated PharmD pathway enables students to earn their Doctor of Pharmacy degree in a shorter timeframe,

typically 3 years, through a condensed, year-round curriculum.

3. Early Assurance Pathways

• An early assurance PharmD pathway allows high school students to secure a future seat in a PharmD program and

follow a streamlined path toward earning their pharmacy degree. These are also referred to as “2+4” programs.

4. Online PharmD programs

• An online PharmD program allows students to complete much of their pharmacy education remotely while gaining

required hands-on clinical experience through in-person rotations.

5. Dual PharmD Programs

• A dual PharmD program allows students to earn a Doctor of Pharmacy degree alongside a second graduate or

professional degree, such as an MBA, MPH, or PhD, in an integrated curriculum.

Market Threats

Declining Enrollment

Pharmacy schools across the U.S. are experiencing a sustained

drop in student interest. Over the past few years, the national

demand for pharmacy education has fallen by approximately

2,000 students. Admissions to pharmacy programs have declined

steadily over the past decade, reflecting broader trends in higher

education, especially within health-related fields. This drop is

driven in part by concerns over job market conditions, academic

pressure, and the overall appeal of the pharmacy profession

among prospective students.

Lower Graduation Output vs. Workforce Demand

The gap between pharmacy school graduation rates and national

workforce demand is widening. In 2026, U.S. pharmacy schools

are projected to graduate approximately 8,000 PharmDs.

However, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates

there will be 13,400 pharmacist job openings each year. Moreover,

this figure doesn’t include graduates who pursue non-traditional

roles in research, industry, regulatory affairs, the military, or

residency training, further straining the system and leaving critical

healthcare roles unfilled.

Reduced interest in Community Pharmacy Careers

Interest in community pharmacy is waning among students,

contributing further to workforce gaps. More than half of student

pharmacists have expressed little to no interest in pursuing a career

in community pharmacy. Contributing factors include poor work-life

balance, high-stress environments, overwhelming administrative

responsibilities, and a fast-paced work environment. In many

cases, negative experiences during clinical rotations in understaffed

settings reinforce students’ desire to avoid these positions after

graduation..

Decreasing Academic Performance

Student performance in national licensure exams is also declining,

signaling deeper challenges in pharmacy education. A decade ago,

the average first-time pass rate for the NAPLEX was around 95%.

By 2023, that figure had dropped below 80%. Sixteen pharmacy

schools had pass rates under 65%, with newer programs and

accelerated three-year tracks struggling the most. Of these 16

schools, nine opened after 2009, and 7 offer accelerated degrees,

suggesting that newer or condensed programs may lack the

necessary infrastructure and faculty support for student success.

Burnout and Mental Health Concerns

Burnout among pharmacy students is reaching critical levels.

Academic overload, intense competition, limited personal time, and

outside work responsibilities are key drivers. Many students are

simultaneously employed in high-pressure, understaffed pharmacy

environments, which compounds their stress and detracts from

academic performance. Faculty have observed that current students

often require more structure and external motivation to succeed

compared to previous generations, highlighting the need for greater

mental health and academic support in pharmacy programs..

High-Cost Education and Loan Access Risk

The financial burden of pharmacy education is substantial, and

recent legislative proposals may exacerbate it. Graduating pharmacy

students carry an average debt of approximately $171,000. H.R.1,

also known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” includes provisions

that could restrict access to federal student aid. These include the

elimination of the Grad PLUS loan program, new limits on federal

student loans, and institutional risk-sharing models that penalize

schools for poor job placement outcomes. These changes could

deter low-income and underserved students from entering the field,

ultimately reducing the diversity and size of the future pharmacy

workforce.

Worsening Pharmacist Shortage

Despite declining enrollment, the demand for pharmacists is rising,

particularly in hospitals, clinics, and rural settings. The U.S. currently

has fewer than one pharmacist per 1,000 Americans, and the

Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates a national shortage of at least

5,000 pharmacists. As the output of pharmacy schools continues

to shrink, the profession’s ability to meet this growing demand is

compromised. Colleges of pharmacy play a vital role in sustaining a

stable healthcare workforce, especially in underserved communities

where pharmacists often serve as the most accessible healthcare

providers.

Closures and Program Instability

The consequences of prolonged enrollment decline are becoming

more visible through school closures and program contractions.

For example, in 2024, the University of Charleston announced that

it would shut down its pharmacy school and cease accepting new

students. Enrollment at the institution had dropped to just 20% of

previous levels. The decision was based not on accreditation or

academic quality, but on shrinking student interest and concerns

about job market growth in pharmacy. As more institutions face

similar pressures, other pharmacy programs may also be forced to

close or scale back.

YoY Match Rates, NAPLEX, and MPJE

For PharmD students, the NAPLEX, the MPJE, and the Residency

Match are key milestones that help shape their transition from student

to practicing pharmacist. The NAPLEX assesses the clinical knowledge

and skills needed for pharmacy practice, while the MPJE evaluates

understanding of pharmacy law. The Residency Match process connects

graduating pharmacy students with postgraduate residency programs,

providing advanced training that can enhance career opportunities and

specialized practice skills.
