The Doctor of Pharmacy program at Belmont University is a 4-year program.

Our curriculum offers integrated courses in a systems based approach to allow for deep learning and for collaboration with other disciplines on campus. Students also have opportunities to take electives to further knowledge in specific areas of interest. 

Real world preparation is one of our biggest priorities. This is why we offer simulations and collaborative environments that promote cross-practice learning and a team approach to patient care-exactly like you’ll see on the job. Our dedicated, expert faculty bring their real-life expertise and passion to prepare students for real-world practice-while cultivating a Christ-centered community of learning and service.

Location is everything. As the nation’s healthcare capital, Nashville boasts a $92 million health care industry, more than 500 health care companies, and many major healthcare facilities.
