Virginia Commonwealth University and its academic health sciences center serve as one national urban public research institution dedicated to the success and well-being of our students, patients, faculty, staff and community. The VCU School of Pharmacy began as part of the Medical College of Virginia (MCV). In 1913, it merged with the University College of Medicine, also in Richmond. Initially, the curriculum focused on preparing drugs, botany and basic health skills. At that time, the program was just two years long, and a high school diploma was not required for admission. As the only pharmacy school in Virginia, it attracted professors from across the state and quickly established itself as a cornerstone of pharmaceutical education.
