The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy is part of a large research university with a major teaching hospital. That hospital is just across the street, along with UNC’s Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and Dentistry, while the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health is next door. Our close ties with our neighbors give our pharmacy students resources and opportunities that just aren’t available elsewhere. Additionally, our proximity to the Research Triangle Park make UNC a prime area nationally to pursue a career in pharmaceutical sciences.
