About us
The WSU College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (CPPS) was founded in 1891, and has been accredited since 1912. We are a graduate and professional education college.
Our main degree programs include the Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical and Medical Sciences (starting Fall 2024), Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Pharmaceutical Sciences and Molecular Medicine.
