Founded in 1905, the USC Alfred E. Mann School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences is the oldest and foremost pharmacy school in Southern California. The school is a national leader known for its progressive curriculum and research excellence. Approximately 50 percent of the practicing pharmacists in Southern California are graduates of USC. The school has an average student body of 755 full-time students in the PharmD program and 417 students pursuing MS, PhD, DRSc and undergraduate degrees in pharmacology and toxicology, pharmaceutical sciences, health economics, regulatory science, healthcare decision analysis and biopharmaceutical marketing. There are 77 full-time faculty and more than 300 part-time and volunteer faculty at the school.

The school occupies state-of-the-art facilities on the USC Health Sciences Campus in metropolitan Los Angeles, adjacent to the Los Angeles General Medical Center (one of the largest teaching hospitals in the country), the USC Norris Cancer Hospital and the Keck Hospital of USC. USC Mann School students receive clinical training at these facilities and many other affiliated hospitals, healthcare clinics, skilled nursing facilities, home healthcare agencies and pharmacies in the Southern California region.

Recognized as one of the most innovative schools of pharmacy, the USC Alfred E. Mann School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences serves as a model for other progressive schools. In 1950, USC was the first to establish a Doctor of Pharmacy program. Additional national “firsts” that distinguish the school include: first clinical pharmacy program (1968); first PharmD/MBA dual degree program (1988); first MS and PhD programs in pharmaceutical economics and policy (1994) and first professional doctorate in regulatory science (2008).

Consistently the top private pharmacy school nationwide, the school is a member of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, and the PharmD program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education, 135 S. LaSalle Street, Suite 4100, Chicago, IL 60603-4810, phone: (312) 664-3575; fax: (312) 664-4652 or (312) 664-7008.

Applicants should possess a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university. A cumulative grade point average of 3.0 and a prerequisite grade point average of 3.0 or higher is strongly recommended. All students should complete the prerequisite courses that are required by the USC Alfred E. Mann School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences before they start the program. An interview is mandatory and required of all students prior to admission. International students are required to complete the TOEFL and may request a virtual interview. 

Acceptance criteria will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. The admission committee reviews each student holistically, taken all application materials and the interview process into consideration when making an admission decision. Along with being academically prepared, having the soft skills to communicate, problem solve, build relationships and show your ability to think critically are important characteristics to demonstrate.

Tuition and Fees (Estimated)

Tuition for the PharmD at USC Mann School degree programs is charged at a flat rate (which differs from standard USC tuition). See the Tuition and Fees  section for fee information. These fees are subject to change.

Doctor of Pharmacy students must pay a $1,000 non-refundable acceptance deposit that is applicable toward tuition. For deposit information in other degree programs in the USC Mann School, please consult appropriate offices.

Honor Societies

Rho Chi

Theta chapter of Rho Chi, the academic honor society in pharmacy, was established at USC in 1925. Eligibility for membership is based on high attainment in scholarship, character, personality and leadership. All candidates selected for membership must have completed three semesters of the pharmacy program (or post-qualifying exam for PhD students), and they must be approved by the dean of the USC Alfred E. Mann School of Pharmacy and Pharamceutical Sciences.

Phi Lambda Sigma

The Phi Lambda Sigma chapter was established at USC in 1988. This national pharmacy leadership society is devoted to identifying, supporting and recognizing the contribution of pharmacy students to their colleges, their classmates, their campuses, their communities and to their chosen profession.

Undergraduate Honors Program

The undergraduate honors in pharmacology and drug development (post code 1681) or biopharmaceutical sciences is awarded through successful completion of the senior capstone project.  The project is a demonstration of knowledge in the student’s chosen area of interest which results in a product/project, research data, research paper, or portfolio of work, and a presentation. This experience encourages students to use a variety of skills in the areas of writing, speaking, research, and documentation, which distinguishes them as scholars and future leaders in pharmacy. Students will register in RXRS/BPSI - 493, Senior Honors Seminar I and RXRS/BPSI - 494 Senior Honors Seminar II.

Student Housing and Service Facility, Health Sciences Campus

There are no university-managed accommodations on the Health Sciences Campus.
