[About accessibility] [Skip UCSF navigation]
The UCSF School of Pharmacy offers graduate degrees only. Both the School's Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) professional programs and PhD graduate programs are designed to train new leaders who will lead their quickly changing disciplines. Postdoctoral programs offer additional advanced and specialized training for both new clinicians and scientists alike. All of these programs are under the guidance of faculty members who are nationally and internationally recognized clinicians and scientists.
The PharmD professional program is a four-year academic program that prepares graduates as clinical experts while offering them the option of further studies in the areas of pharmaceutical care, pharmaceutical sciences, and pharmaceutical health policy and management. The school also offers a PharmD/PhD program and, with UC Berkeley, a PharmD/MPH.
PharmD students at UCSF are an important part of a larger body of professional students studying nursing, medicine, and dentistry.
The School's five PhD programs train tomorrow's scientists in the fields of chemistry and chemical biology, biological and medical informatics, biophysics, pharmaceutical sciences and pharmacogenomics, and quantitative biology. These graduate programs are multidisciplinary in nature and reflect the School's and UCSF's collaborative ethic in science.
The larger graduate student community at UCSF also includes PhD students in the biological, biomedical, nursing, and social and behavioral sciences.
