About Binghamton University:

The state of New York provided $60 million to establish a School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at Binghamton University. The school, which enrolled its inaugural PharmD class in 2017, is housed in a state-of-the-art, 105,000 square-foot building dedicated to research and education and located at the University's new Health Sciences Campus. The school's outstanding pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences leaders use contemporary medication management and innovative research to transform human health locally and globally. The research and clinically focused school is training the next generations of graduates to deliver evidence-based, patient-centered pharmaceutical care to diverse groups of patients, especially those in underserved rural and geriatric communities. Our new pharmacy simulation laboratory houses a hospital pharmacy with a 797-compliant sterile room, community pharmacy with a robotic dispenser, patient home setting, and three hospital rooms complete with electrocardiographic/respiratory/hemodynamic monitoring and high-fidelity manikins.

The School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE). MS and PhD programs in Pharmaceutical Sciences launched in fall 2022 to further advance the school's translational, clinical and outcomes research within the changing landscape of drug development, pharmacy practice and clinical science.

In alignment with the school's strategic plan and the University's mission, the school is committed to [core values](https://www.binghamton.edu/pharmacy-and-pharmaceutical-sciences/about/mission-vision.html) including a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion through research, teaching, mentoring and service, as well as through engagement with faculty, students and staff. We are seeking individuals with a vision for the education of diverse adult learners with a range of backgrounds and worldviews.
