University of California San Francisco is the top rated school due to receiving the most grant money of any pharmacy school in the nation back in 2005. This is the only ranking system that I've seen and I don't know of any other poll or ranking system to date.

The "best" pharmacy school, or even a program if you want to define the question narrowly, is more subjective.

For me, I was looking for:

1. Variety in electives
2. The types of courses the school emphasizes
3. Technology usage
4. Student support systems
5. Length of program
6. NAPLEX passage rates
7. Types and locations of residencies offered
8. Community service integration (if applicable)

There are more factors when I defined my "best" schools to apply and potentially accept. It's all about the "fit". Given that you could be spending over $100,000 for pharmacy school, you've got to find the right fit . The U.S. News' rankings aren't always your answer.
