Graduates work primarily in community pharmacies or in healthcare facilities but also work in health maintenance organizations, private practice groups, long-term care facilities, home healthcare, the Public Health Service, the armed services, law enforcement agencies, drug development, marketing, research, colleges of pharmacy, and professional association management. In addition, many of our graduates go on to pharmacy practice residencies, fellowships, and leading graduate programs.
