The Honors Program at the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy is an enrichment of the professional (doctor of pharmacy) curriculum. The general purpose of the program is to expand the possibilities open to students who have demonstrated strong academic abilities and motivation, and students often find that it leads to expanded career opportunities. Participants in the Honors Program have access to close personal contact with individual faculty, a peer group of similarly accomplished and motivated students, and a formal program of guest speakers.
