Southern Illinois University – Online Pharmacy & Pharmacy Technician Degrees
DESCRIPTION
Southern Illinois University opened its door on 1957. In the fall of 1965, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) opened its doors. Set in the midst of 2,660 acres of rolling land and woods, the academic center was designed by the internationally known architectural firm of Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum of St. Louis. The mission of the SIUE School of Pharmacy is to prepare health care professionals capable of providing high-quality health care to meet the diverse pharmaceutical care needs of the citizens of Illinois and to serve the profession of pharmacy through a balanced program of education, research, service and patient care.
- Today, SIUE is a major public university, offering a broad choice of degrees and programs ranging from career-oriented fields of study to the essential, more traditional liberal arts.
- Initiation of the School of Pharmacy represents a significant expansion of SIUE’s offerings in the area of health sciences for Southern Illinois.
- The first class of pharmacy students entered in fall of 2005. Prospective students with at least two years of General Education, enter the School of Pharmacy’s four-year professional curriculum, offered in a 2+2 format.
- The faculty will comprise about 40 members in addition to shared biomedical sciences and librarian faculty members. With a target enrollment of 300 students, the school will accept applications for the professional program from qualified students who have completed the defined professional curriculum.
