Message from the Dean

On behalf of the faculty, staff, and students of the Touro College of Pharmacy, we are proud to share with you the 2024-2026 edition of our Catalog. It contains a comprehensive description of our program, including our mission, vision, admissions standards, curriculum, academic policies and procedures, and more.

If you are a potential applicant, we invite you to consider the rewards and satisfactions of a career in pharmacy, one of the nation’s most trusted professions, rich in opportunities in a wide variety of fields and disciplines. In the wake of the pandemic, pharmacists have become an increasingly important community resource for health care information and advice, ordering lab tests, performing point-of-care testing and targeted physical examinations, and administering vaccines. Pharmacists are also playing an increasingly crucial role in the rapidly evolving health care system, in clinical care, functioning as an integral part of the patient-care team, prescribing medications, and consulting with patients and other health care professionals. Pharmacy also offers extensive opportunities in research, industry, drug information, administration, and academia.

We hope you will consider the exceptional advantages of studying at the Touro College of Pharmacy, with our caring faculty, unique student-centered program emphasizing practical training, and our unparalleled location in a brand new, state-of-the-art campus in the heart of the nation’s most vibrant urban center. Contact our Admissions Office for a virtual or in-person visit and tour, meet our students and faculty, experience our tradition of excellence and commitment to health care locally and globally, and take the first steps in a lifetime of pride, satisfaction, and service in pharmacy.

If you are a current student, faculty, or staff member, we hope you will refer to the catalog often, as a resource for information about the details of our academic program, standards, policies and procedures.

And finally, a note of thanks to the many contributors whose hard work and dedication have made this catalog possible. Like just about everything at the College of Pharmacy, it represents an outstanding team effort of which we are very proud.

Wishing you all the best,

Henry Cohen, Pharm.D., M.Sc., FCCM
