## History

[edit]

The University of Iowa Department of Pharmacy was founded in 1885, with E.L. Boerner serving as its first dean. In 1900 the college became a founding member of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP), and shortly after changed their name to the College of Pharmacy.

In 1938 the University of Iowa established the first graduate program in hospital pharmacy in the country, and in 1963 their building moved to its current home on the west side of campus.

The college continued their achievements well through the 20th century, founding the Iowa Drug Information Service and developing the national-standard Unit Dose System in 1965, before establishing the landmark Center for Biocatalysis and Bioprocessing in 1983.

In 2009 the college was restructured, moving from three academic divisions to two departments: the Department of Pharmacy Practice and the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Experimental Therapeutics.

In 2016 the college broke ground on a new facility, set to open to students in the spring of 2020.[4]
