Cshe Kyollecje of 1 harmcici] A FOUR-YEAR course, leading to the degree of bachelor of science in phar- macy and providing the opportunity to special- ize in any of several related fields, places the Creighton college of pharmacy on an equal standard with the few outstanding institutions of its kind in the country. The curriculum of the college of pharmacy has been prepared to give men and women such education in phar- macy as will enable them to meet the present and future demands of their profession in an able and intelligent manner. This course is offered by full-time instructors who have had years of practical experience in the retail as well as the wholesale pharmaceutical fields. Dean William A. Jarrett heads a distin- guished faculty of men who rank as leading educators and scientists. Personalized teaching and individual attention to each student are two of the reasons for the outstanding success of Creighton pharmacy graduates. Unusual and advantageous is the close cooperation maintained between the college of pharmacy and the Creighton school of medicine. All prescriptions written for patients of the medical clinic- are compounded in a special prescription room by pharmacy students under the direction of a faculty member who i- also a registered pharmacist. In this manner students compound 10,000 prescriptions each year for clinical patients. The standards of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy are maintained in all courses. This group is the highest accredited agency in pharmaceutical education. Most states by law or ruling of the state board of pharmacy recognize only those schools which hold membership in this associa- tion. Graduates of the Creighton college of pharmacy are admitted to the board examinations in those states requiring graduation from a college of pharmacy as a pre-requisite to these examinations.
