Doctor of Pharmacy Program Description
As a public 1890 land-grant Historically Black University that embraces diversity, UMES is committed to serving first-generation and underserved students and providing <br>educational, research, and community engagement opportunities to transform the lives of its students who will impact the state, region, and the world. In keeping with this mission, UMES received approval from the University System of Maryland (USM) Board of Regents to establish an accelerated, 3- year Doctor of Pharmacy program in 2007. The new pharmacy program complemented the previously-established healthcare programs in exercise science, physical therapy, physician assistant studies, and rehabilitation services, leading to the creation of the School of Pharmacy and Health Professions at UMES.
