Why Choose Xavier College of Pharmacy for a Pharm.D. Degree?

Xavier University College of Pharmacy boasts a reputation for excellence, proudly ranking among the top four producers of African American Doctor of Pharmacy degree-holders nationwide.

“When you come here, you may have a goal in mind. However, those things will be amplified, and things you didn’t even know were inside of you will be brought to light. The people here, the culture that HBCUs bring to life, make this a magical place.”
