Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy
EMSOP Students Succeed
The PharmD at Rutgers
The six-year Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) at Rutgers program begins with two years of pre-professional study and moves seamlessly into four years of professional training. Rutgers is home to one of the countryʼs few 0-6 PharmD programs, meaning students can enter directly from high school or transfer from a two- or four-year college into the first professional year.
Programs and Degrees
One of the oldest and best-regarded pharmacy schools in the country, the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy has a 125-year track record of preparing pharmacists, scientists, and healthcare professionals to make lasting contributions in our profession.
Better Late: John Cho
Like effective medications, successful careers often take time to develop.
John (Eun Sik) Cho ’25 for example, was accepted to EMSOP straight out of high school but instead earned degrees in Earth Sciences at Columbia University and Industrial Hygiene at the University of Michigan before working for a college prep consultancy. There, mentoring high school students seeking their own paths, he realized that his road led back to EMSOP.
Equipped with his unique experiences and skills, Cho ’25 is joining Daiichi Sankyo as EMSOP’s first-ever Postdoctoral Fellow in Quality Assurance Good Manufacturing Practices. He’s excited about Daiichi Sankyo’s innovative cancer therapies but also, after his circuitous journey, the company’s commitment.
“The number of long-term employees drew me. They’re dedicated to their mission, and so am I.”
