Apply today to learn cutting-edge patient care models, gain countless hours of hands-on experience, and become part of our wide pharmacy professionals network.
Our world-class faculty will provide mentorship and advisement as you explore your path in pharmacy.

New Mexico has the most progressive pharmacy practice models in the entire country—models that allow pharmacists to improve lives in unsuspecting places and in unsuspecting ways. Our pharmacy community is constantly advocating to expand that practice, setting the example for other states.
Work alongside pharmacists with independent prescriptive authority as they serve the public health needs of New Mexicans through the administration of vaccinations, tobacco cessation prescription medications, hormonal contraception, travel medications, tuberculin skin tests, and HIV infection prevention medications.
Serving others is deeply rooted in our culture. Our students, faculty, and alumni participate year-round in a wide variety of community-based projects benefiting the underserved populations of New Mexico. Find your passion for giving back while offering health screenings, immunization clinics, poison prevention classes, atrial fibrillation screenings, fall risk assessments, diabetes family education, or classes on the dangers of prescription drug abuse as part of our college.

Unlike other programs, the UNM College of Pharmacy allows you to establish residency for tuition purposes after your first year, allowing you to pay in-state tuition for the remainder of your time in the program.
