The seal of the College of Pharmacy

UIC is ranked the #6 College of Pharmacy in the country for good reason: research and clinical innovations, discoveries and comprehensive, committed teaching. That is why we've been defining the field for more than 150 years.

Many hands pulling in one direction can share the load. I want to help the students whose careers will follow mine, and I hope other alums feel the same.

Why UIC?  Because our students are given the foundation to pursue their dreams.  

Last year, our residency match rate was 76% (compared to 58% nationally) in 16 states.  

There’s always room in our legacy for more great minds and caring hearts, whether you’re a student, professor, preceptor, or supporter of our mission.
