The College of Pharmacy was founded in 1923 and is located on the university's Gainesville, Florida main campus. The college offers the entry-level Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree as the first professional degree for students entering the profession. Additionally, the college offers the Working Professional PharmD (WPPD) program for bachelor's-trained pharmacists already in practice. Additionally, various graduate degrees are offered.
