About the School

Mission

We enhance health through innovative pharmaceutical education, research, practice and public service.

Vision 2010

We lead the way in advancing the profession of pharmacy.

In our innovative educational, research and practice settings, students gain the knowledge and skill to excel in a variety of pharmaceutical careers. Employing a spirit of discovery fostered during the course of their studies, our graduates are leaders wherever they practice, conduct research, or teach. They are essential contributors in the dynamic health care arena meeting the need for pharmacists within the State of Maryland and beyond.

As a top-five research school, we apply an integrative understanding of drug discovery, development and utilization in conducting groundbreaking and translational research. The outcomes from this research make a major impact on improving the quality of people’s lives.

We are a formidable influence in shaping drug policy and pharmaceutical practice. Our community service programs bring education and care to people in Baltimore City and throughout the State. These endeavors, coupled with our national and international collaborations, improve the effectiveness of pharmaceutical care throughout the world.

Our faculty, staff and students create and sustain a welcoming and supportive environment where people develop professionally and use their knowledge and talents to realize this vision.
