We are transforming the face of pharmacy by leading the convergence of science, healthcare and policy.
Since our founding in 1905, the school has fueled pioneering initiatives in research, education and practice while fostering new generations of leaders. Our impact includes groundbreaking laboratory discoveries, novel regulatory approaches, meaningful health policy reforms, and transformative collaborations in medication management and chronic disease prevention. Curricular advances include launching the first PharmD, regulatory science doctorate and healthcare decision analysis programs, among many others.
The moment you join the school, you become part of the renowned Trojan Family—a vast, supportive international network. Our alumni hold leadership roles at major pharmaceutical companies, government agencies, top medical centers, NASA and Jet Propulsion Lab, and many other dynamic environments—and are dedicated to helping USC students and fellow graduates. We give you a world of opportunity.
Through health fairs, community clinic partnerships, public health campaigns and unparalleled collaborations to manage chronic disease, the school’s students, faculty and alumni demonstrate an ongoing commitment to improving the health of the community we serve. And through our Science, Technology and Research (STAR) program, we help new generations of underrepresented high school students pursue careers in the life sciences.
Our programs span the entire pharmaceutical continuum—from discovery and development to regulation and from translation to patient care and outcomes.
The USC Mann School is integrating sports pharmacy into its curriculum and creating a specialty certificate for practicing pharmacists.
A new USC Pharmacy in South Los Angeles will serve as a vaccination and clinic site, offer health and wellness education for the community, and conduct research on best practices and patient outcomes to reduce health disparities and inform health policy.
