About
Welcome to the University of Oklahoma College of Pharmacy
The University of Oklahoma is a comprehensive university with the mission of providing contemporary education, research and service. The College of Pharmacy is one of the academic units responsible for this mission.
Pharmacy was the first professional program at The University of Oklahoma, and, since 1896, the College of Pharmacy has had more than 5,300 graduates. The College offers the Doctor of Pharmacy professional degree program and graduate programs in the Pharmaceutical Sciences leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees.
The University of Oklahoma College of Pharmacy is committed to the education of professional and graduate students who, upon graduation, can meet the public need for safe and effective pharmaceutical care. Students and faculty generate and disseminate knowledge contributing to the education and continual professional growth of pharmacists, educators, scientists and other health care professionals. The characteristics of quality instruction, basic and applied research, community and professional service, and extensive instruction in all types of pharmacy practice settings contribute to making the College of Pharmacy programs rewarding and satisfying experiences.
The relocation of the College from Norman to Oklahoma City in 1976 was a milestone in development of both the College of Pharmacy and the Health Sciences Center. The Henry D. and Ida Mosier Pharmacy Building in Oklahoma City was completed in 1983 and most of the educational, research and service activities of the College are housed in this facility. It contains approximately 77,000 square feet of modern classrooms, teaching laboratories, faculty and staff offices, research laboratories, and support facilities.
