Counseling and Student Assistance
The University of Minnesota College of Pharmacy goes to great lengths to ensure that its students are able to complete the Pharm.D. program in as little time as possible. In recent years, 99% of its students have graduated, and 95% have completed the degree in four years. There are multiple resources on the UMD campus that can help students with many obstacles, such as:
Counseling Services
