About USciences
Take a Virtual Tour of USciences
University of the Sciences has prepared students to be leaders and practitioners in the healthcare and science fields for nearly 200 years.

Since its founding in 1821 as Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, the first college of pharmacy in North America, USciences has grown to more than 30 degree-granting programs from bachelor’s through doctoral degrees in the health sciences, bench sciences, and healthcare business and policy fields. USciences students are proven everywhere they go.
