Buies Creek, N.C.–The Campbell University School of Pharmacy posted a 100 percent passage rate on the North American Pharmacist Licensure exam (NAPLEX) and 96.88 percent on the Multi State Pharmacy Jurisprudence exam (MPJE). The scores maintained the school’s record of a perfect score on the NAPLEX and beat the national average on the MPJE by 5.72 percent.
The national exams replace the state board exam ensuring pharmacists the right to practice in all states. A total of 32 Campbell students took the exams.
Dr. Ronald Maddox, dean of the School of Pharmacy, attributes the exceptional performance to highly motivated students and dedicated alumni.
“The strong pharmaceutical science foundation the students receive during their first two years of study is invaluable,” Maddox said, “as is the superb instruction and experiential training provided by the Pharmacy Practice faculty and preceptors during the third and fourth years.”
Since its inception in 1986, graduates of the Campbell University School of Pharmacy have maintained an approximate 99 percent passage rate on national examinations.
