<p>Which college has a better pharmacy program? I live in New York so Rutgers is about an hour away. Also with Rutgers i am already accepted into the Doctor of Pharmacy Program. But Purdue has a better repuatation. It is ranked higher everywhere i looked. Basically, is Purdue's pharmacy program that much better than Rutgers?</p>
<p>FWIW at Purdue a student is admitted to "Pre-pharmacy". </p>
<p>The</a> Pre-pharmacy Program

Really?</p>
<p>yeah.. you can be accepted as a freshman... purdue doesnt do that.. first you do 2 yrs in pre-pharmacy than 4 in the doctorate program. With Rutgers you do 6 six years as well, but you start in the doctorate program from your freshman year.</p>

**Admission to the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy is available for the fall semester of each year for both high
school and transfer students into the Entry-Level Pharm.D. Program. The Pharm.D. Program is a six-year academic
program leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy degree for students applying directly from high school.
Combining course work with clinical clerkships, the goal of the program is to educate health care professionals to
practice pharmacy in community, hospital, academic, managed care, and industrial pharmaceutical settings. Students
complete a well-balanced curriculum of liberal arts courses, basic sciences, and pharmaceutical, clinical, socioeconomic,
and administration sciences. Instruction includes structured clinical experiences in hospitals, nursing homes, community
pharmacies, and managed care agencies, as well as in pharmaceutical manufacturing companies.
Currently, the School has an enrollment of 1,297 undergraduates of which 40% are men and 60% are women.
66% of all students at the School reside on campus while 34% commute. All students affiliate with one of the liberal
arts colleges at Rutgers for housing, dining, and student activities.
