Pharmsupport, when you graduate your first class of students, what do you expect the employment rate and residency match rate to be? Please cite reasonable statistics, using employment/Match data from neighboring pharmacy schools (USC, UCSD) and from other new schools.

Another pharmacy school in CA. Even better.

Wait, $48k/year for tuition? Holy cash cow!

Under your second link, "Why Choose MBKU"

"1. Outstanding Contemporary Campus. The MBKU Campus, buildings and facilities are fantastic! Add the great year-round weather and tremendous recreational attractions—beaches, mountains, professional sports, major theme parks, cultural events and a variety of culinary cuisines—and you have a wonderful environment for learning and personal growth.

2. Ideal Location. MBKU is located in a residential, suburban neighborhood with many nearby apartments and rental houses for consideration. About 50% of students live within one mile of the MBKU campus, which facilitates a real sense of community on our campus."

Are these really supposed to be the top two reasons to attend? They put all the more important items at the bottom of the list. Might be more prudent to re-order that list to reflect the University's priorities.

I hope students who attend have deep pockets - really, really deep pockets. Although typical of CA schools, 48k is quite expensive. Why attend MBKU if there are schools out there that are half or a fourth of the cost? What does MBKU offer that other schools may not?

Lastly, what is your school's reason for opening another pharmacy school in CA? What sort of avenues do you see your graduates heading toward?

How does Ketchum expect to find enough rotation sites, let alone jobs, for students in the area? It was already hard enough before WCU, KGI, and Chapman opened.

 

[Judgment Dragon]

Is this the 12th pharmacy school in California to open?
