Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy

Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy is a part of Rutgers University. The facilities are housed in William Levine Hall on Busch Campus in Piscataway, New Jersey. It was founded in 1892 as the Newark College of Pharmacy and then absorbed into Rutgers University in 1927^[1]. Before it was moved to its current location in 1971, the School of Pharmacy was located in Newark, New Jersey. The school consists of the Department of Chemical Biology, the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, the Department of Pharmacology, the Department of Pharmaceutics, and the Department of Pharmacy Practice and Administration. The school offers only a six-year Doctor of Pharmacy degree program at its New Brunswick/Piscataway campus and a 2+4 Doctor of Pharmacy program at Rutgers-Newark and Rutgers-Camden campuses. Those students who are admitted to the 2+4 program in Newark and Camden are automatically admitted to the School of Pharmacy in Piscataway upon successful completion of the two year pre-professional curriculum at Newark/Camden. Most of its students are admitted directly from high school into the six-year program at New Brunswick/Piscataway campus and some are admitted to Newark or Camden campus. Admittance is highly competitive, and transfer students are rare because space only becomes available when someone exits the program. Although students completing the Pharm.D. program have completed the equivalent of a bachelor's program plus a professional graduate program, they are not actually granted bachelor's degrees, only the doctoral degree.

Students pursuing M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in pharmacy are not actually enrolled in the School of Pharmacy, but rather in Rutgers' "Graduate School-New Brunswick." However, classes and research are pursued with the graduate faculty of the School of Pharmacy.

Curriculum

The Pharm.D. curriculum consists of six years of study. The first two years are called Pre-Professional years and most of the classes are offered by the School of Arts and Sciences rather than the School of Pharmacy, and the class content provides basic knowledge in chemistry, human physiology, physics, and mathematics, which aid in professional studies. Upon successful completion of the first and second pre-professional years with satisfactory scholastic standing, students must go through an interview process in order to continue their study. The third through sixth years are called Professional years and most classes are offered by the School of Pharmacy faculty, with the exception of Introductory Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
