New pharmacy school to open in California
RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif. Classes will begin Aug. 25 at a new pharmacy college that just won approval from the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education.
The for-profit California Northstate College of Pharmacy describes itself as “dedicated to education, developing and training individuals to provide competent, patient-centered care” and hopes to become a top-tier school in 10 or fewer years.
It currently has two departments, one focusing on pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences and the other on clinical and administrative sciences, and lists 10 professors on its Web site.
