Home to programs in pharmacy, pharmaceutical sciences, and pharmacology and toxicology, the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy (PCP) is where modern pharmacy started. Since its founding in 1821 as the first college of pharmacy in North America, names like McNeil, Lilly, Wyeth — founders of the top pharmaceutical companies in the world — and many others have launched their careers here. We continue that tradition of excellence with our hands-on approach, offering future pharmacists clinical experience — practically from day one.In addition to our historical and well-respected PharmD program (which features a direct-entry pathway for first-year students), PCP offers undergraduate degrees in pharmaceutical sciences and pharmacology and toxicology, as well as graduate degrees in pharmaceutics (MS, PhD), pharmacology and toxicology (MS, PhD) and Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy MS.
