I feel more than prepared to work each day as a pharmacist and leader with the U.S.

I originally chose Wilkes for its nationally recognized pharmacy program. Once on
campus, I found other aspects that make it great, such as endless activities and club
events happening daily.
Nathaniel Edwards - P3 Student
I was able to stay heavily involved in activities within and outside of pharmacy school.
It is a very close-knit community, and my professors were always there when I needed
