For more than 130 years, the University at Buffalo School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences has been a leader in the education of pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists. We are proud to be the leading school of pharmacy in New York State and one of the top-ranked schools in the country.

Our outstanding faculty were responsible for some of the seminal principles in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drug delivery. These theoretical concepts are the building blocks for many of today’s current drug therapies and support innovative future research.

Here, you will find the unique experience of blending the intricacies of pharmacy practice with the rigors of the pharmaceutical sciences, graduating the best-trained pharmacists in the country. We provide a full range of health sciences training, giving our students a dynamic learning experience, training them to apply these skills in real-world settings, and providing them with unique strengths that they can apply to improving patient care and health outcomes.
