Hybrid PharmD Programs
How we categorize programs

A school is marked "Fully Online" if the PharmD program can be completed primarily through online coursework (clinical rotations may still require in-person attendance). "Hybrid" programs combine online coursework with required on-campus immersions, in-person labs, or significant in-person components beyond clinical rotations. A "School-Listed" badge means the school itself explicitly advertises an online or hybrid pathway.

All programs listed are offered by ACPE-accredited pharmacy schools. Accreditation status should always be verified directly with ACPE.
