what's the oldest pharmacy school? (and also, what are the established dates of others?)

from a preliminary search:

UNC 1897
Maryland 1841 (Third oldest)
USC 1905

The oldest college of pharmacy in the US is the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy (Now University of the Sciences in Philadelphia)-1821

 

[CaptainPicard]

I think that University of the Sciences in Philadelphia is the oldest.

 

[LostTexan]

The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy has U of California, SF listed as the oldest. It was established in 1872

MCPHS, Est. 1823

I 2nd USP (University of the Sciences Philadelphia) aka Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. Established 1821.

Or this could end up like the argument as to what the oldest university is in the America...a handful of school's claim this title based on differing interpretations of the word "university" and "college," what "America" actually means, and/or whether the institution's overall modus operandi is in fact similar to this or that model of education. Big mess.

 

[genesis09]

I believe USP is the oldest pharmacy school.
UIC COP was established in 1859.

 

[Praziquantel86]

UB is up there, founded in 1881.

 

[FAMUPharmD09]

From the USP website:

A private, comprehensive, coeducational university founded in 1821 as Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, the first school of pharmacy in North America

Mercer - 1903, also one of the first in the Southeast to issue the PharmD while the others were still giving out Bpharms.

 

[Bacchus]

Its USP. There is a national historic landmarker (blue sign) in front of Griffith Hall in the lawn proclaiming so.

 

[cutiger]

University of South Carolina College of Pharmacy (1865) but now merged with MUSC for the South Carolina College of Pharmacy

Random thought: I wonder why people keep posting wrong answers in this thread after it has been answered already. It just makes you look dumb.

Like if I asked you what year the US declared its independence, and someone answered 1776...but then you ride in and answer 1982.

But it is 1982, when the US became independent from the Soviet Union 😀

I've never seen so much homerism in one thread than this one. Confetti, you were supposed to join in and say TJU has the oldest pharmacy school.

Because the OP asked:

[ValeRx]

The Cincinnati College of Pharmacy was granted a charter by the Ohio Legislature in 1850. 5th oldest.

Because the OP asked:

nice digging up an old thread and not contributing jack ****

and people were posting colleges & years of establishment AND saying they think it's the oldest school, even after reading a school that beats that year of establishment. See above posts.


side note: what's with all these n00bs digging up old threads and not having anything constructive to add/say? It's one thing to dig up this thread and say "oh hey did you hear about that pharmacy school they dug up in egypt next to the pyramids? that effin' old." it's another thing to go "you misread the question" 7 months later.

man, pre-pharms are getting dumber and dumber, i swear....

Yea, that's right after Riddick saved our planet from lizard-headed anal-probing jabbawalkies.
