Placement

The employment record of alumni from the University of Michigan College of Pharmacy's graduate programs is outstanding. Many of our alumni are on the faculties of more than half of the pharmacy colleges in the U.S., and many others hold research and management positions throughout the pharmaceutical industry.

The College arranges employment interviews between graduate students and potential employers. Each year, the dean and faculty members receive inquiries from pharmacy colleges and leading international corporations for qualified personnel with graduate training. Typically, representatives of pharmaceutical firms visit the campus in the fall and winter to conduct interviews.

Students also may register with the University's Career Planning and Placement Office for help in setting up a personal employment information file.
