Northeastern University School Of Pharmacy

Northeastern University's School of Pharmacy is a member of the Marjorie Bouvé College of Health Sciences. The school is one of six specialties offered in the college, an interdisciplinary community which encourages cooperation between members of the healthcare team. The Doctor of Pharmacy Program provides a foundation of basic science and targeted liberal arts course work, a comprehensive, integrated professional course curriculum and extensive professional work experience which prepares students for the challenging clerkship rotations in a wide variety of pharmacy practice settings. Students in the Bouvé College have the opportunity to participate in Northeastern University's nationally recognized Cooperative Education program. In the summer following their sophomore year, students begin alternating between periods of full-time, paid work in community, hospital, and specialty pharmacy practice and study in the classroom. The co-op program, as it is affectionately known by students, challenges students to apply their classroom knowledge in a real-world setting and experience different job opportunities available in the diverse field of pharmacy. Northeastern's School of Pharmacy is the only pharmacy program in the country which boasts such a program. Northeastern's pharmacy program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as of November 2009.
