LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- A private, for-profit college in Louisville is starting a pharmacy school. When it opens next July, Sullivan University’s pharmacy school will be the second in the state. The University of Kentucky also has one.
Kentucky has the second-largest pharmacists shortage in the country, said the Pharmacy Manpower Project, which tracks states’ pharmacist shortages.
The growing need for pharmacists is fueled by several factors including the aging of the baby-boom generation, more and better medications for chronic conditions, and the spread of 24-hour pharmacies.
The pharmacy school’s tuition is $32,000 a year for the three-year program. The school’s application is being reviewed by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education.
