The mission of the Purdue College of Pharmacy is to:
Educate and train students to become leading pharmacists and scientists,
Advocate scientific discovery and development, and
Maximize global health outcomes through patient care and public service.
Purdue University was established in 1869 and the College of Pharmacy was established in 1884. Purdue is a land-grant, state-assisted institution of higher learning. The programs offer excellent opportunities to prepare for careers in pharmacy practice, industry, research, or education. Purdue University is primarily a residential campus, located in West Lafayette, 65 miles northwest of Indianapolis and 125 miles southeast of Chicago. There are a large number of residence halls and off-campus apartments within walking distance of the main campus and bus service throughout the greater Lafayette community is free of charge to students.
Diversity and opportunity are characteristics of the University. Over 1000 campus organizations cater to the varied interests of students, including 21 professional organizations in the College of Pharmacy and a variety of music, theater, hobby and sports clubs campus-wide. Purdue is a member of the Big Ten athletic conference and participates in a large number of both men’s and women’s athletics.
The Admissions Committee has established the following attributes for assessment and selection for admission to the College’s Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) program:
Evidence of academic readiness for, and commitment to, growth in the learning goals of the professional curriculum.
Evidence of human service orientation and demonstrated leadership experience.
Evidence of quality verbal and written communication skills as well as interpersonal capabilities.
Evidence of initiatives to learn about pharmacy and career path options.
Sources of information used in assessing applicants in regard to these attributes include: academic performance in all course work taken after high school, with particular emphasis given to grades earned in core science and math pre-requisite courses (because of their relationship to assessing analytical problem-solving abilities); applicant-supplied information and statements on the PharmCAS and Purdue supplemental application form; letter of evaluation statements regarding personal strengths and weaknesses.
