Hi all.

i've been accepted to both for the PharmD program.

i have an interest in pursuing a PhD in the near future. which school is more research oriented? is a PhD from UW (U. of Washington) regarded differently in the 'real world' than one from USC?

thanks in advance for any and all input!!!

Nocsaq:

USC's pharmacy program is no doubt a great program. I don't know in terms of research.

I've heard that USC's research is not up to par compared to UCLA, Berkeley, Duke and the Ivies.

As for UW, I bet a billion $$$ that UW's research is much better than USC's research at Keck Med School. I don't know where USC has its pharmacy program, but I bet it's on the med school campus..in Boyle Heights..another ghetto-licious area. UW, ...campus is in a better location. Despite the constant overcast in Seattle, life there is better than facing traffic, breathing smog and dealing with rude and cold Angelenos.

Definetely UW. There is no better school in the NATION for med research than UW.

You're right fender.


UW has excellent reserach facilities. THeir campus is also beautiful, despite the rainfall in Seattle.
