Welcome to the Faculty of Pharmacy at Philadelphia University. The Faculty of Pharmacy offers courses leading to the Bachelor degree of Pharmacy after successful compilation of 160 credit hours, and it is my distinct pleasure to introduce you to the Pharmacy Profession. Pharmacy is the health care profession responsible for dispensing medicines, educating patients about their medications and working with clinicians to promote the effective use of drugs. With the unprecedented advances in drug discovery, together with the exciting new interdisciplinary approaches to scientific discovery, it is sometimes difficult to predict the future of pharmacy in the 21st century. One thing is certain, however - there has never been a more dynamic and exciting time for Pharmacy.

Health care and educational systems are perhaps the best expressions of social organization. As you contemplate the practice of a profession, we ask that you remain cognizant of a collective human interdependence. Recognize that your progress depends upon a broader social context, that while you contribute to your own well being, you also contribute to a larger social environment. Your education, in addition to giving you intellectual satisfaction, can provide a solid economic future. Always hold on to your capacity for imagination and desire for inquiry. Exercise your capacity for critical thinking. Capture your own thoughts and feelings, and then use your educational experience to crystallize them.

The Faculty’s goal is to provide comprehensive professional instruction, preparing graduates who display concern for human health and possess an emphasis on moral values and services. We strive to be among the very best in the country in our program within the Faculty. The driving force behind our faculty is our commitment to developing new programs and presenting educational opportunities that reflect Jordan's unique multiculturalism. Our diverse student body is embraced by our faculty, who not only serve as professors but also as mentors and friends. Our relatively small class sizes foster friendship and bonding of students who learn to work together as a team.

The website is designed to introduce you to our program mission, vision, educational philosophy, curriculum, faculty and staff, student services, and to events occurring within our Faculty. You will also find current information on admissions, accreditation and other relevant topics.

Finally, on behalf of the faculty, staff and students of the Philadelphia University Faculty of Pharmacy, welcome to the home page of the Faculty. When it comes to pharmacy, Philadelphia University Faculty of Pharmacy is the place to be.
