A year-end message from Dean Ronald Ragan
A year ago, the KU School of Pharmacy was closing out one of its most challenging years on record.

Despite difficult circumstances, the Class of 2021 had a 90% first-time pass rate for the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination compared to a national rate of 85%.
