The School currently offers the Bachelors of Science in Pharmaceutical Science degree, along with minors in Pharmaceutical Science, Environmental Health Science, and Public Health.
Hampton University seeks to motivate and prepare students to achieve at the highest academic level. Students develop and demonstrate a sense of character within themselves and in their relationship with others. Students are taught to embrace those personal values, which make them responsive to the social, economic and more problems affecting our society. The administrators, faculty, staff and students continually strive to contribute to positive health outcomes in our community by providing perspectives based on a range of ideas, practices and services.
