MUSC College of Pharmacy

MUSC College of Pharmacy The MUSC College of Pharmacy has a rich tradition of educating outstanding pharmacists for more than 100 years.

Every day, we build on that foundation and break new ground in each area of our trifold mission: education, research, and patient care. The College of Pharmacy at the Medical University of South Carolina is a respected leader in education, research and patient care. The College provides a premier pharmacy education by uniting nationally-recognized faculty and high-achieving students with the innovative interprofessional learning opportunities offered at MUSC’s academic medical center. Located in beautiful and historic Charleston, S.C., MUSC College of Pharmacy has four academic degree programs, two research centers led by renowned endowed chairs, one of the oldest and largest residency programs in the country, more than 900 preceptors in a world-wide experiential program, and a collaborative continuing education program. MUSC College of Pharmacy students are successful (among the nation’s highest in graduating student satisfaction, NAPLEX/MJPE scores, residency placement, post-graduation employment) and the faculty is productive in and out of the classroom (National Institutes for Health funding, professional service, national awards and offices). Founded in 1881, the pharmacy program at MUSC continues to attract and produce pharmacy’s finest practitioners, shaping tomorrow’s healthcare.

We couldn't pay tribute to Dean Hall without spotlighting his biggest project from his time as dean!

The College of Pharmacy was located at the Michael P. Araneo Building back when Dean Hall began his tenure. Under his leadership, the journey to build a new home for the college began and concluded - a testament to his dedication to advancing the future of pharmacy education at MUSC.
