With our health care programs heavily steeped in community outreach initiatives, our alumni leave a legacy of leadership and excellence.
University of the Pacific’s Thomas J.

This engaging, intensive preparatory program provides students who have earned their PharmD degree the opportunity to be part of immersive review and practice sessions to promote successful passage of the CPJE and NAPLEX examinations.
Since 1955, the Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy has been training health care professionals who are problem-solvers, innovators and leaders. Our students are constantly making a difference by serving underserved communities or leading breakthroughs in research with our award-winning faculty members.

Find a sense of belonging
“As a little girl, I always admired the work of pharmacists and how they interacted with medications and patients. So when I found out about Pacific’s accelerated program it really interested me. Then I came to Fall Open House and interacted with the faculty and I really felt like I belonged.”
— Keerat Kandola

“Pacific was my first choice because of its great reputation as a university, its small class sizes and the variety of opportunities it offers for on-campus involvement, undergrad research and forming connections with people looking to enter the same field as me.”
— Olivia Laprade
