STUDENT SUCCESS

VCU School of Pharmacy will build a comprehensive student support structure and academic progression plan that bolsters student recruitment, retention and placement

As a school, we are committed to helping our students achieve their goals. From creating experiential learning and international education opportunities that enlighten our students to reducing financial barriers to entry, our initiatives put them on the path to success. Pair this with our uncommon level of student support, and it's no wonder that 98% of students employed within six months of graduation last year reported they were satisfied with their outcome after graduation.

Take a look at the latest developments around our ongoing student success initiatives – and a few stories of students' success as they move into their next chapter.
