Welcome from the College of Pharmacy

On behalf of the faculty, staff and students of the University of Louisiana at Monroe, College of Pharmacy, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our website. The ULM College of Pharmacy is the only state supported pharmacy program in Louisiana. We are very proud of the fact that we are the state of Louisiana's College of Pharmacy.

The College of Pharmacy offers three distinct programs of study. First and foremost is our professional doctoral program. Graduates of this program are awarded the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree. Secondly, our College offers two graduate degrees: 1) the Masters of Science (M.S.) degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences, offered in eight different areas and 2) the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Pharmacy, offered in seven different major concentrations. Finally, our College offers a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Toxicology. Our undergraduate Toxicology program is one of only seven in the country. Please visit our website for additional information concerning each of these degree programs.

Our faculty is comprised of health care professionals, scientists and scholars dedicated to preparing our graduates to enter their respective professions with all of the latest skills and knowledge necessary to provide the best health care and scientific services possible for the citizens of the great state of Louisiana and beyond. Our faculty make valuable contributions to the world's scientific knowledge base via the College's extensive research programs.

We take pride in the tradition of excellence established by our faculty, students and graduates through performance on state and national licensure examinations, participation in local, state, regional and national professional organizations.
