Mission: "Pharmacy with Faith”
We develop servant-leader pharmacists who are medication specialists.
The Gregory School of Pharmacy develops pharmacists who are fully committed to raising the standards of practice within the profession of pharmacy by following Christ’s example of servant-leadership, teaching with compassion, and bringing healing to those in need. Grounded in faith and academic excellence, we prepare pharmacists to be medication specialists, person-centered care practitioners, and professional communicators. Through evidence-based practice, scientific inquiry, and interprofessional collaboration, our graduates are prepared to improve health outcomes, promote wellness, and steward pharmacy systems.
Vision: "Excellence with Character”
To embody professional excellence grounded in character.
The Gregory School of Pharmacy is distinctive in its commitment to honoring biblical values and moral principles in the pursuit of academic and professional excellence. Our faculty, staff, and graduates pursue excellence marked by patient- and student-centered advocacy. We put our faith into action by carrying out our mission with unity in teamwork, compassionate service, integrity, humility before God, grace under pressure, and moral courage. In doing so, we aim to be a model of Christ-centered leadership in pharmacy education, practice, and scholarship.
