University of Charleston School of Pharmacy’s mission is to prepare pharmacy leaders dedicated to making a positive impact on their communities. Our students forge lasting connections and expand their horizons while creating meaningful understanding and impact in 6 core areas: leadership, advocacy, public health, interprofessional experience, cultural awareness, and innovation.

Our award-winning faculty nurture students to provide the highest standard of culturally sensitive, interprofessional patient care, with an emphasis on underserved populations. We believe that the best thing we can offer our students is an opportunity to become their best — to provide experiences that broaden their viewpoint and support to help them achieve their dreams.
