Biographical / Historical
The School of Pharmacy had its beginnings at a North Dakota Agricultural College (NDAC) Board of Trustees meeting. According to the Sixth Biennial Report (1902), the Board acted in order to fulfill “petitions received from prominent druggists,” and voted in November 1901 to establish a school of pharmacy with the program’s supervision placed under the department of chemistry. The school offered two courses of study. The first was a “full four years’ course in pharmaceutical chemistry leading to the degree of B.S.” The second was a “special two year [sic] course in practical pharmacy.” When the winter term began on January 2, 1902, the School of Pharmacy had an enrollment of five students in its different programs.
In 1919, the School of Chemistry and Pharmacy divided into two separate bodies: the School of Pharmacy and the School of Chemistry and Technology. The creation of a separate School of Pharmacy, in 1919, ushered in a great deal of change, expansion and notoriety in the 1920s. As early as 1920 (eighteen years after its creation) the School was “registered by the Board of Regents of the State of New York” signifying that the School ranked “among the first class institutions of its kind in the country.” In 1923 the School received another honor when it was elected to the American Conference of Pharmaceutical Faculties, an organization consisting of the nation’s highly ranked pharmaceutical institutions. The beginning of the 1925-1926 academic year saw the dissolution of the two-year curriculum and the introduction of a three-year curriculum in order to meet the Conference’s College of Pharmacy Records Page 3 of 9 requirements. On February 15, 1926 the position of Head of the School of Pharmacy was changed to the Dean of the School of Pharmacy.
A major addition to the College of Pharmacy was the Associate Degree Program in Nursing. The College offered an associate’s degree from 1969 until 1987—the last class graduated in 1988. The associate degree was phased out in 1987 due to an agreement with Concordia College, located in Moorhead, Minnesota, in 1986. North Dakota State University (NDSU) and Concordia agreed to create a four-year baccalaureate degree program that would utilize the Tri-College University Consortium. Nursing students would be able to take classes at Concordia or NDSU in order to meet the program’s requirements. However, nursing students attending North Dakota State University would receive a NDSU degree in nursing through the Tri-College consortium while Concordia nursing students would receive a Concordia degree through the Consortium (NDSU Bulletin, 1970-1972. pp. 103). As of 2004 the NDSU Nursing program was no longer associated with Tri-College University In September of 1987, the College of Pharmacy began the Native American Pharmacy Program (NAPP) as a means of addressing the severe shortage of Native American pharmacists in the United States. The program, currently funded by the Dakota Medical Foundation of Fargo, N.D., is designed to recruit and to facilitate the entry of Native American students into the College of Pharmacy. Initiated in 1996 and reorganized in 2003, North Dakota Institute for Pharmaceutical Care “purpose is to help pharmacists improve their practice and provide them with a ready source of health and drug information and assessment skills.”
In May 2006 the State Board of Higher Education approved the name change from the College of Pharmacy to the College of Pharmacy, Nursing and Allied Sciences. Today, “the College offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in both pharmacy and nursing. Degrees offered by the College include: (a.) six-year entry level doctor of pharmacy (Pharm.D.); (b.) two-year post-baccalaureate Pharm.D.; (c.) BS, MS, and Ph.D. degrees in pharmaceutical sciences; and (d.) BS, MS, and doctor of nursing practice (DNP) degrees in nursing. In addition, the College also has preprofessional programs in allied health including respiratory care, clinical laboratory sciences, and radiological sciences.”
