Advantages at Rutgers

For students who wish to prepare for one of the many exciting pharmaceutical careers, Rutgers offers many advantages. The Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy is located on a modern, attractive suburban campus, surrounded by the university's golf course, the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, the School of Public Health and the university's major science departments. Student housing, a campus student center, and the Library of Science and Medicine are within walking distance of the school. While the campus is a traditional college campus and away from the hustle and bustle of any downtown business district, the nearby central New Jersey metropolitan region offers a wide array of practice-oriented educational opportunities in community pharmacies, hospitals, and the pharmaceutical industry. The school's professional experiential programs take full advantage of these opportunities, including industrial pharmacy sites that provide a unique experience with the nation's leading drug manufacturers.

All activities, both academic and extracurricular, of the larger university are available to pharmacy students, including extensive academic offerings in the basic sciences, humanities, and social sciences.

Dual-degree programs provide specialized opportunities for some of our highest achieving students. Our Pharm.D./Ph.D. program gives select students an excellent opportunity to start graduate work in research programs that combine pharmacy with basic, translational, or clinical research in pharmaceutics, pharmacology, and related fields. Our Pharm.D./M.B.A. provides students with an opportunity to jump-start their careers in pharmacy and business--in hospitals, industry, and other health care venues. Our Pharm.D./M.P.H. enables our students to build on their pharmacy training with a sound understanding of public health fields, such as organization of health services, pharmacoepidemiology, health care policy, biostatistics, and environmental health.

As a state university, Rutgers offers tuition rates that are particularly affordable to New Jersey residents, while maintaining reasonable tuition rates for out-of-state students. Scholarships and other forms of financial aid also are available. For further information, see the Tuition and Fees and Financial Aid websites.

The pharmacy faculty also offers graduate programs for students wishing to earn a master of science or doctor of philosophy degree in chemical biology, pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutics and industrial pharmacy, pharmacology, or toxicology. These programs are described in the catalog of the Graduate School-New Brunswick.
