Pharmacy classes on the South Jordan campus will begin in August 2006. The pharmacy program in South Jordan is considered an extension of the College of Pharmacy currently operating at the University’s Henderson, Nevada campus. The pharmacy admissions requirements, curriculum, and policies will be the same for both campuses.

In June 2006, ACPE met to consider an accreditation action for USN’s Doctor of Pharmacy program, including its expansion into South Jordan. At that meeting, ACPE’s Board extended the PharmD program’s accreditation until June, 2008. Prospective students who have questions regarding accreditation policies and procedures may review information posted on ACPE’s website or may contact ACPE directly at 312-664-3575.

Students interested in enrolling in USN’s PharmD program at the South Jordan, Utah campus, must apply to the University of Southern Nevada College of Pharmacy and follow all College of Pharmacy admissions policies and procedures.
