St. Louis College of Pharmacy (STLCOP) is a private and independent nonsectarian professional university in St. Louis, Missouri. It was founded in 1864.
Located on an 9-acre (0.01 sq mi; 3.64 ha) campus in St. Louis' Central West End medical community, the St. Louis College of Pharmacy is the oldest college of pharmacy west of the Mississippi River. The College’s 6,941 living alumni represent 50 states and 13 foreign countries. Approximately 75% of practicing pharmacists in the St. Louis region are graduates of St. Louis College of Pharmacy.
The College admits students directly from high school and integrates the liberal arts and sciences with a professional curriculum leading to the Pharm.D. degree. In 2014, the College expanded to a seven-year program which will allow students to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree after four academic years.
Enrollment is currently at 1,350 students, 698 undergraduates and 652 post-graduates, with incoming freshmen classes of approximately 250 students. These students are taken directly from high school, with applicants also allowed to transfer each year until the first professional year of the program.
St. Louis College of Pharmacy is accredited by both the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as well as the Higher Learning Commission North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, both out of Chicago. St. Louis College of Pharmacy is consistently ranked as one of the best and most respected pharmacy schools in the country.
The average starting salary for graduates is $119,281 (2013), up 3.4%.
The College runs a Success Center for students. The center's counselors are there to answer questions and/or direct students to the appropriate campus offices, meet with students to conduct an individual study-skills consultation, give time management tips, and provide tutoring information. The Success Center is located on the first floor of the residence hall.
The College supports Norton Writing Center, where students can get help with their writing assignments. The center is staffed by a professional coordinator and by student tutors, who are trained to assist students in improving their writing. Writing center staff work with students one-on-one to improve their writing skills, providing reader feedback and offering suggestions for improvement. Norton Writing Center also provides writing help to students through handouts and through its campus intranet site. Originally established by an alumni donation, Norton Writing Center is currently located on the fourth floor of Jones Hall.
