Welcome

The College of Pharmacy embraces the educational philosophy and values of East Tennessee State University, located in Johnson City, TN.  We pursue a passion for life-long learning and a commitment to personal and professional growth as we serve our patients, the community, and the profession.

In the United States, all graduating pharmacists must now obtain the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree before they are eligible to sit for the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) to enter into pharmacy practice.
