State of the Academy—Challenges to Student Success
Minze, Molly G. et al.American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education, Volume 89, Issue 9 (September 2025), 101487
The purpose of this study is to report and analyze data collected from a comprehensive student academic success survey conducted by the 2022–2023 Student Affairs Committee of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy that identifies important intrinsic and environmental factors affecting student academic success in PharmD programs.
The survey results reveal several critical factors negatively impacting student success in pharmacy education. Ineffective study and time management strategies emerged as the most prevalent barrier, followed closely by academic preparation, mental health concerns, work responsibilities, and financial hardships. Additionally, a significant number of programs report that program costs negatively influence student academic success. Programs also highlight the significant positive impact of cocurricular activities, internships, and fostering a sense of student belonging on academic success.
