Program Description Founded in 1868, Hampton University is a leading historically black university (HBCU) located in the City of Hampton. It is a privately endowed, co-educational, nonsectarian institution. Hampton University School of Pharmacy (HUSOP) has a new Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree program and will enroll its first class in Fall 2024. Our mission is to produce a cadre of pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists who have a keen awareness and understanding of the health inequities encountered by underserved and vulnerable populations. Our vision is to be a leader in pharmacy education, scientific discovery, and scholarship that prepares graduates to address the healthcare needs of medically underserved and diverse populations. HUSOP seeks to motivate and prepare students to achieve at the highest academic level. Students are taught to embrace those personal values, which make them responsive to the socioeconomic issues impacting society.

The School of Pharmacy at Hampton University offers an innovative, entry-level, professional program leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree. The entry-level Doctor of Pharmacy Program requires six years for completion. The program's first two years consist of preprofessional pharmacy education, followed by four years of professional pharmacy education. Students may complete the prerequisite courses at another institution, transfer into the professional program, and complete four years of study leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy degree.
