You might think of the pharmacist as wearing a white lab coat and standing behind the drugstore counter. But pharmacy as a profession has undergone a dramatic shift in recent years—today, it’s much more patient focused. Pharmacists now take medication histories, identify goals for drug therapy, provide education to patients regarding medications, make recommendations to other health-care providers about drug therapy, and much more. The College of Pharmacy gives students the knowledge and skills to provide drug therapy toward improving patient health. The program’s curriculum offers problem-based learning (PBL) and other types of courses, which may include tutorials, lectures, labs, and practical experience in various settings.

Some of the career options you might consider with a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy include: pharmacist pharmaceutical sales drug researcher clinical specialty practices in such areas as infectious diseases, paediatrics, psychiatry, intensive care, or cardiology policy maker or advisor in federal or provincial government, regarding drug products and pharmacy practice lawyer, journalist or consultant specializing in pharmaceutical issues
