Two PharmD Locations
WSU Health Sciences – Spokane, Washington
As the largest medical hub between Minneapolis and Seattle, Spokane is the ideal place for you to be exposed to the latest diagnostic and therapeutic care in all fields. Located on the WSU Health Sciences campus, pharmacy students learn alongside future Cougar nurses and doctors from the WSU College of Nursing and Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine.
Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences – Yakima, Washington
Housed in the Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences (PNWU) campus, pharmacy students learn alongside PNWU Doctor of Osteopathy and WSU nursing students and work together to serve the area’s rural communities. Smaller class sizes in Yakima allow for more interaction with professors so you can personalize your learning experience, focusing on areas of pharmacy that most interest you.
I chose the WSU pharmacy program because of the heart-warming welcome they gave me when I arrived on campus. The nature of the student and faculty community at WSU has shown me that everyone is there to help each other. I love that students from all over the country can come together to support each other through this 4-year journey and make everlasting friendships along the way.
