The Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree is the only professional degree in pharmacy accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), the national pharmacy accrediting agency.

The Concordia University Wisconsin School of Pharmacy (CUWSOP) is a new school of pharmacy with its first class matriculating in fall of 2010. We are located on the main CUW campus on approximately 200 acres of beautiful Lake Michigan shoreline in Mequon, Wisconsin, approximately 15 miles north of downtown Milwaukee.

We offer a four year program leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree. The program is designed to provide students with the scientific background and clinical skills necessary to take the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) which will allow them to become licensed practitioners of pharmacy.

Our focus is to prepare pharmacy practitioners dedicated to advancing patient-centered pharmaceutical care through medication therapy management in Wisconsin and throughout the country, by working closely with patients and all other healthcare providers to address the physical, mental and spiritual needs of each patient. The School will take full advantage of its metropolitan location to enter into alliances and strategic partnerships with local, regional and national healthcare entities.
