Pharmacy Exploration Day

The Duquesne University School of Pharmacy hosts a one-day summer camp, sponsored by Walgreens, for high school students and current college students thinking about transferring to explore pharmacy and the many career paths a Doctor of Pharmacy opens. Camp participants arrive in the morning and are done with all activities including a free lunch and ice cream social later that afternoon.

At Pharmacy Exploration Day, parents will drop off their student in the morning then pick them up at the end of the day. We have a designated area for drop-off/pick-up on bluff street behind Mellon Hall of Science and Bayer Learning Center. View our campus map for more details.  Students who drive on their own or parents who choose to stay on campus for the day will need to park in the Forbes Avenue Garage. Daily Parking Rates apply.

Participate in a variety of hands-on activities similar to what our student pharmacists do, and, as a bonus, they’ll be your leaders throughout the day. They’ll be able to answer all your questions and give you a firsthand account of what it’s like being a student pharmacist at Duquesne University.

Pharmacy Exploration Day runs from 8:00 a.m to 4:00 p.m. Please arrive between 7:45 – 8:00 am to allow for time to sign-in and get to the first station of the day.  Pickup is at 4pm at the same area where students were dropped off at behind Mellon Hall on Bluff Street.
