We continue to innovate while integrating Northeastern University's tradition of experiential learning. Northeastern Advantage Co-op = More Experience: We are the only US school of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences with a cooperative education (co-op) program. Students complete 2 full-time, 6-month, paid co-op experiences providing more than 4 times the number of IPPE hours as compared the most PharmD programs. Partnerships: Co-op is rooted in our proximity to Boston's top-ranked institutions. Clinical affiliation includes major medical schools, world-renowned hospitals, research facilities, community pharmacies, biotech, & private healthcare. Northeastern also offers a variety of post-PharmD research fellowships with innovative industry partners. Research: ranked #1 in the nation among private schools of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences in NIH funding Success: Passing the NAPLEX, placement in residencies/fellowships, passing the NAPLEX, securing employment, pursuing advanced degrees: our students succeed • Northeastern University students have the #1 first-time pass rate of the NAPLEX exam for private universities, and #5 nationally of all US accredited Pharmacy Schools at 94%. The average national first-time attempt pass rate is 79% • Of the students pursuing post-grad training in 2024, 88% secured a position in a post-grad year 1 (PGY1) residency above the national average match rate at 81%. 83% secured a post-grad year 2 (PGY2) residency which is comparable to the national average match rate of 84%. • From the class of 2023, 100% of graduates were employed within 12 months of graduation with 77% employed before graduation or within 1 month after.
