Introduction

Pharmacy is an applied science that studies the substances used for human health promotion and hygiene, especially for the prevention and treatment of diseases. In order to meet these academic expectations, the Department of Pharmacy provides a curriculum founded on the basic sciences of biology, chemistry, and physics that encompasses all fields related to the handling of pharmaceuticals.
In the Department of Pharmacy, knowledge of the synthesis of raw material drugs, development of drugs and their formulations, drug development information management, properties of physiologically active substances and its effect on the body, formulation, preparation, administration and medication guidance of drugs, and protection of the human body from environmental pollution are all comprehensively explored. In addition, basic medicine and natural remedies are also included in the curriculum.
The Department of Pharmacy was accredited by the Ministry of Education in October 1978. In March 1979, 30 freshmen were accepted into the program. Over the past 30 years, the department has produced more than 1,000 alumni under the goal of cultivating Christian volunteers who contribute to society through advanced research and pharmaceutical studies. In September 2007, the program was renamed as the College of Pharmacy.
In addition to undergraduate studies, the department currently holds postgraduate doctoral programs in medicine, microbiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, pharmacy, drug analysis, pathophysiology, and preventive pharmacy. Since 2011, with the change to a six-year school system, all faculty and staff are exerting great effort in reorganizing curriculum, expanding facilities, and recruiting excellent professors to create a prestigious program.
