A Message from the Dean of the School of Pharmacy

Joseph R. Ofosu, Pharm.D., R.Ph.

I would like to extend a heartfelt welcome to you from the School of Pharmacy at Saint Joseph College. You are choosing a profession that is among the most trusted professions in the world, if not the most trusted!

Saint Joseph College School of Pharmacy offers a unique three-year, co-educational, doctoral degree (Pharm.D.) program in Pharmacy with its inaugural class to begin fall 2011. Students can enroll upon completion of a bachelor's degree, subject to required courses. The College's undergraduate program now offers a pre-pharmacy option where all the prerequisite courses can be completed within a traditional 4 year undergraduate degree. In addition, the college's undergraduate program offers a B.S./Pharm.D. track option (click here for more information).

Our innovative modified-block Pharm.D. curriculum has a proven record of increasing students' ability to master the didactic material along with providing students with a rich experiential education. Additionally, this format allows students to enjoy the financial benefits of employment sooner as students complete their Pharm.D in three years rather than in the traditional four years.

We have assembled a world-class faculty and administrative team whose main focus and dedication is to your academic success. The faculty's diverse experience provides you with a breadth of experiential knowledge, further deepening your educational experience. Moreover, our student services division is dedicated to providing you with all necessary assistance to enhance your educational experience.

 In keeping with the College's founding mission and values of service, the pharmacy doctorate addresses a demonstrated need in the community and is supported by the College's core competencies. Specifically, the College's reputation for offering high-quality programs, especially in health and human services, is well established.

I invite you to visit our new facilities at the School of Pharmacy, 229 Trumbull Street, Hartford, CT 06103 or contact us at 860.231.5858 with any questions you may have after exploring our website. Thank you for your interest in our program and we look forward to welcoming you to our caring and supportive learning environment at Saint Joseph College School of Pharmacy.
