About Marshall University School of Pharmacy
The Marshall University Board of Governors granted approval to establish the School of Pharmacy in December, 2009. Since that time, the University has continued to make progress in the planning and early implementation phases of this project. Dr. Kevin W. Yingling was hired as the founding dean in January, 2011 and is currently in the process of establishing the executive leadership team, which will be charged with development of policies, procedures, and curriculum. The MUSOP is currently located in the Robert W. Coon Medical Education Building, which will undergo extensive renovations beginning in June of 2011 with completion scheduled for August, 2012. These changes will result in a state-of-the-art, 76,000 square foot learning, research, and pharmacy practice facility. This environment will support the School’s intent to offer a unique, interdisciplinary, team-based academic community which combines the resources of a top tier University with Allied Health Programs through the College of Health Professions and the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine.
We anticipate enrolling an inaugural class of 80 students in August, 2012. The program will be structured as a 2 + 4 program, with students completing two years of prerequisites before beginning the 4-year professional program in their third year of studies. Graduation of the inaugural class is expected to occur in May, 2016.
