We’re on a Mission

The three foundational goals of the College of Pharmacy are to provide excellent professional education for our students and continuing education for practicing pharmacists; to foster outstanding and innovative research; and to contribute to public health by developing and promoting ways to provide medications safely and affordably.

Why Choose OSU Pharmacy?

Our mission is to advance societal health through leadership in pharmacy education, research, community engagement, and improved patient care. 

Our Storied History

We trace our beginnings to 1898, when we were originally the Oregon Agricultural College. Chemistry and pharmacy were a single department, offering a Bachelors of Science degree in Pharmacy after a four-year program of study—one of the earliest four-year programs in the country.
