The Temple Difference
A Comprehensive Health Professions Environment

Founded in 1901, Temple University School of Pharmacy (TUSP) is one of the oldest in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Located in North Philadelphia, our School is in the hub of the Delaware Valley's extensive pharmaceutical industry. Though the majority of our students come from Pennsylvania, we attract applicants from all over the country and world and pride ourselves on our diverse student population.
 
Temple is the only pharmacy school in Philadelphia that is part of a health sciences center. Our students can draw upon the extensive resources, staff, and facilities of Temple University Hospital, the Medical and Dental Schools, the College of Allied Health Professions, and the new Temple University Children's Medical Center. Ready access to the University's new School of Podiatric Medicine in Center City provides a unique opportunity for cross-disciplinary learning in a comprehensive health care environment.
Significantly, our faculty members are active clinical practitioners and pharmaceutical scientists.

With more than 7,000 alumni, we offer the following degree programs:
The Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm. D.)
The Master of Science (M.S.) and
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in
Pharmaceutical Sciences (with concentrations in Pharmaceutics or Medicinal Chemistry)
The Master of Science (M.S.) in Quality
Assurance/Regulatory Affairs (QA/RA)

We're proud that our program in QA/RA is the most comprehensive in the world.

We also offer certificates in QA/RA (including the Basic Study Program, Basic Pharmaceutical Development, and Advanced QA and RA) and extensive continuing education programs for
practitioners to maintain their professional competence after graduation.

Our teaching facilities include a state-of-the-art Parenteral Laboratory, a computer lab equipped with the latest pharmaceutical software programs, and multi-media lecture halls. Our Drug Research Unit (DRU) for advanced undergraduate and graduate students promotes collaborative research ventures between our School and industry. We also offer our students a unique and well recognized elective program in radioactive pharmaceuticals.

We welcome your interest in our great University and encourage you to visit our School of Pharmacy, so you can experience "the Temple difference" firsthand.
