As the primary role of pharmacists in the health care system is being shifted from dispensing and compounding to providing pharmaceutical care, our college strives to make changes in pharmacy education to provide students with comprehensive knowledge, skills and leadership needed to function as pharmacotherapy specialists. Our college has been consistently ranked among top pharmacy schools in the nation in terms of undergraduate education, scholarship, graduate research, publication and grant contracts. Our educational and research capability is expected to be further enhanced by the acquisition of the new pharmacy building (125,000 square feet) and the annex research building for academia-industry collaboration (Drug Research Center 33,000 square feet) that are expected to be completed by February, 2008. The improved infrastructure as well as the recent implementation of the 'Brain Korea 21 Center for Excellence in Future Pharmaceutical Education and Research' program supported by the Ministry of Education for the period from the year 2006-2012 will help accomplish our goals to compete with top pharmacy schools worldwide.
