The University of Illinois at Chicago College of Pharmacy plans to welcome its first class of 50 students to the Rockford campus beginning in the fall of 2009. Rockford students will have the same courses as Chicago students with the exception of some possible electives, leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree.

Students will attend all four years at the Rockford campus. The first three years are didactic. The fourth year will involve a series of seven, six-week rotations in clinics, pharmacies and hospitals.

Admission into the program has a minimum requirement of two years in pre-pharmacy however, 70 percent of those admitted will have a bachelor of science degree.
