Where is our pharmacy school?
As they say in real estate, location, location, location and we think ours is pretty special. Our campus is in Mequon, Wisconsin, which is approximately 20 miles north of Milwauke, a top-rated Midwest city. In addition, the campus sits on the shores of Lake Michigan.
This allows us to hold experiential learning at Aurora, Ascension, and Froedtert hospitals and clinics. There is also numerous opportunities for students and faculty to volunteer pharmacy services to individuals in the surrounding communities. Professor Lokken continues to lead students on various volunteer experiences.
