The College of Pharmacy is located on the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) campus in Omaha, NE. The College of Pharmacy opened the UNMC Center for Drug Discovery and Lozier Center for Pharmacy Sciences & Education in 2016, a $35 million building completely funded by private support. The new Center offers the most up-to-date technologies to enhance the learning environment.
The Pharm.D. Program received a full 8-year accreditation in 2012 by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education and has recently undergone significant revision to the pre-pharmacy curriculum. Classes are conducted on a semester basis beginning in late August and ending in early May. Required didactic courses in the curriculum are not offered during the summer although experiential programming does occur during that time.
Both professional and social opportunities are available through campus and College of Pharmacy organizations. The College maintains active chapters of APhA Academy of Student Pharmacists and ASHP Student Society of Health-System Pharmacy as well as chapters of Kappa Psi and Kappa Epsilon Professional Pharmacy Fraternities, Rho Chi Pharmacy Honor Society, and Phi Lambda Sigma Pharmacy Leadership Society. These organizations provide opportunities for social interaction, as well as the offering of professional services in the community and the state of Nebraska.
UNMC is dedicated to educating the next century of health care professionals with the latest in teaching tools, technology and facilities. More than 3,600 students attend UNMC, seeking degrees in Allied Health professions, Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Public Health, and Graduate Studies. Students at UNMC learn in an environment that embraces the innovation of tomorrow while maintaining low student-to-faculty ratios and small-group learning. For more detailed information about educational programs, please see: http://www.unmc.edu
Because of UNMC’s robust research enterprise, students learn from scientists and clinicians who are at the leading edge of discovery. Many of our students also can engage in the rich cultures of Omaha, working in student-run clinics that assist underserved populations in the city.
