Support the Promise
of Pharmacy

The South Carolina College of Pharmacy was established in 2004 as a partnership between the University of South Carolina and the Medical University of South Carolina. This combines the resources from a large comprehensive university and a major academic medical center to create a statewide pharmacy school, giving students broader access to experts and increased training opportunities.  SCCP also partners with the Greenville Hospital System University Medical Center and the Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System to provide clinical education to students.

About the SC College of Pharmacy

At the SCCP, our goals are to:

• Improve the health and wellness of South Carolina Citizens by training the best pharmacists.

• Provide education, research and service comparable in quality to the nation’s best colleges of pharmacy.

• Become a national leader in pharmacy education, research and service.

In addition to the full four-year Doctor of Pharmacy degree, the College offers a Pharm.D/Ph.D. program in Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences (pharmaceutics, pharmacology/toxicology, medicinal chemistry) and a Pharm.D/Ph.D./MBA program in Pharmaceutical Health Outcomes Sciences (economics, public policy, marketing and epidemiology).   Our school also has a curricular track in nuclear pharmacy, one of fewer than 10 certificate-granting colleges in the country.

Two University of South Carolina alumni with a desire to transform pharmacy education and practice are making a $30 million gift to the College of Pharmacy, the second-largest gift in the university's history. 

The William P. and Lou W. Kennedy Pharmacy Innovation Center will serve as a home for collaborative research and education that will bring together the nation's top minds in entrepreneurship, health sciences, communications and other disciplines with leading pharmacy practice faculty.
