Diverse Community at Pacific's Pharmacy School

The Pacific University School of Pharmacy welcomes international pharmacy students studying abroad to pursue a career in pharmacy. Our diverse community — including faculty, staff, preceptors and students — provides a welcoming and collaborative environment for pharmacy international students.

Accelerated Three-year PharmD Program

Located on the Hillsboro Campus, the School of Pharmacy offers a three-year PharmD degree. This is the only accelerated, three-year PharmD program in the state of Oregon and in the Pacific Northwest region. This means that you will receive a doctoral degree in three years, which is a faster and less expensive alternative to traditional four-year programs.

Flexible Pharmacy Rotations

The accelerated three-year program offers the flexibility to complete some IPPE/APPE rotations in locations outside of Oregon in other states within the U.S., which can extend your pharmacy school experience to other parts of the U.S.

Dual Degree and Post-Graduate Opportunities

In addition to the accelerated three-year PharmD, the School of Pharmacy also provides the opportunity to pursue a four-year dual degree in PharmD and MS in Pharmaceutical Sciences. Graduates can also apply for post-graduate education opportunities, such as pharmacy residencies and fellowships throughout the U.S.
