ONU boasts a direct entry (0-6) PharmD program — one of only seven in the nation. This means students are admitted to the pharmacy program on day one. No waiting, no hoops, no denials after they have invested several years of college coursework. They get to be a pharmacist-in-training from the moment they arrive on campus.
The academic program is rigorous. Students are expected to work hard and be challenged. ONU offers a supportive and non-competitive environment. The professors, fellow pharmacy students, and ONU alumni will become friends and family. They will help students succeed and open doors for them.
Larger institutions cannot provide similar individualized attention and opportunity students will find here. They will set themselves apart from their peers as the become a campus and community health partner working alongside the ONU HealthWise clinical team fielding calls in the Drug and Health Information Center and helping patients live healthier lives through health and wellness screenings.
