 Andrés Malavé, Ph.D., COP Dean

I am pleased to welcome you to our College of Pharmacy website. Whether you are a prospective student, alumnus, friend of the college or just interested in what we do, I hope this website serves as a useful source of information.
The COP offers a challenging professional degree program of study in pharmacy that emphasizes the pharmaceutical sciences and patient-centered care. Presented with the use of innovative teaching modalities and the newest technology, the curriculum is designed to prepare pharmacy graduates for life-long learning and leadership capabilities as medication therapy managers in our nation’s healthcare system.  You will find our programs conducted by an exceptional, talented faculty committed to your education.  They, themselves, are agents of change in such diverse fields of research and practice as genomics, drug development, informatics, and pharmacotherapy. Once you browse our website, I am confident you will join me in becoming engaged with our COP and with Nova Southeastern University.
