This foundation that we can help you build can lead to a rewarding and meaningful career in healthcare where you can truly make a difference.

I am proud of the student-focused environment that the College of Pharmacy and Midwestern University provides for our students. Our exceptional and dedicated faculty set the example as they reinforce the covenant of teaching and learning with students. They emphasize mentorship, provide guidance within the pharmacy profession, and promote lifelong learning. In addition, the Midwestern University student support system assists our students in reaching their goals.

As a pharmacy student, you may choose either our Downers Grove Campus in the Chicago area or our Glendale Campus in the Phoenix area for your academic journey.

I hope your journey to becoming a caring and skilled pharmacist begins at Midwestern University and I look forward to welcoming you to one of our campuses soon.
