When you’ve invested years and thousands of dollars into a
pharmacy degree, you want to know that you’ll be able to practice.
At CU’s Skaggs School of Pharmacy, we’re proud to
announce that for five years in a row, our graduates have
surpassed the national pass rate for NAPLEX and MPJE
licensing exams. In addition, during the highly competitive
first-year residency process, our grads have a higher
placement rate than the national average. While the stats for
this year are not yet in, we do know that more than 28 percent
of our graduates matched with PGY-1 programs.
