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.

Famous quotes containing the words university and/or school:
“The most important function of the university in an age of reason is to protect reason from itself.”
—Allan Bloom (1930–1992)
“For those parents from lower-class and minority communities ... [who] have had minimal experience in negotiating dominant, external institutions or have had negative and hostile contact with social service agencies, their initial approaches to the school are often overwhelming and difficult. Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
