PharmD Degrees Decline
In 2017, the second-largest number of PharmD degrees (14,502) were conferred in the history of pharmacy education—a slight decrease over 2016 (14,556) according to the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP).
Student enrollment in pharmacy schools for Fall 2017 declined from 2016, but the decrease is only slight and could be attributed to colleges that did not report their figures.
“Had these schools reported their data, we could have easily seen an increase in degrees awarded over last year,” says Cecilia Plaza, PharmD, vice president of Academic Services, AACP.
Nationally, college enrollments have been declining for the past several years, “and this trend may just be beginning to impact pharmacy as well,” Plaza adds.
