Raleigh/Triangle Pharmacy Schools

Even with all of the headlines of job shortages across the country, there will always be some fields that are always hiring. Right now, it is estimated that the need for pharmacists is expected to grow by 22 percent through the year 2016. Earning an average of $48.31 an hour back in 2007, most pharmacists make a six-figure salary, many times right out of pharmacy school.

Here are two local schools in the Raleigh area, where you can earn your Doctor of Pharmacy degree. The program takes about six years of college education, usually two years of undergraduate work and four years in a professional setting depending on the requirements in your area.

University of North Carolina - Eshelman School of Pharmacy

                One of the leading institutions of pharmacy education and research in the world and rated number one in Kiplinger's Personal Finance four consecutive times, Eshelman School of Pharmacy at UNC offers several programs.

Including but not limited to; PharmD, where you can obtain your pharmacist license, PhD's for pharmaceutical research as well as postgraduate and continuing education programs to keep current pharmacists up-to-date with the most recent practices and information. For contact information, how to apply to the PharmD program and dates for information sessions click here.

Eshelman enrolls about 140 students a year and tuition costs are about the same as a standard degree program at UNC starting at about $15,000 for the year.

Campbell University, School of Pharmacy

                Campbell University is the only school in the nation to feature a joint PharmD/MSCR (Master of Science in Clinical Research) degree. Also, you can take advantage of the unique chance of earning a Doctor of Pharmacy degree while earning a master's degree in another field such as Business Administration or Clinical Research.

And, with a recently completed 42,000 square-foot building, Campbell University has doubled the amount of teaching room, labs and offices to offer an even better learning environment. Other programs offered are Undergraduate, Pre-Pharmacy, PharmD, MSCR, Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Science and Master of Physician Assistant Studies.

Enrolling only about 100 students per year, it's hard to get into Campbell University, so make sure to turn in your application early for the best chance of acceptance.

Before you know it, you can be on your way toward rewarding future helping people get the right medication in the right doses, answer questions and just be there for those in need.

Penny what a great bit of information!  And no doubt the need for pharmacist will grow.  Just look at the number of drugstores that have open in our area.  They are opening about 3 or 4 on every corner!  I've already had the pleasure of finding homes for 2 pharmacists that moved to our area.  Great info for those considering that profession.

Cynthia - you're right, there are a tremendous amount of top universities in North Carolina and the Triangle.

Pamela - might have something to do with Raleigh being a top growth area!
