The Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences is a graduate-level pharmacy school at the University of California, San Diego.
The pharmacy school was authorized by the Regents of the University of California in 2000. [2] The inaugural class began in fall 2002 with 25 Doctorate of Pharmacy students, and graduated the first class of students in the Spring of 2006.[ citation needed ] The school was renamed "Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences" on November 4, 2004, in recognition of a $30 million gift, the largest ever to UC San Diego Health Sciences, from the Skaggs Institute of Research. [3]
On May 2, 2006, the school opened the doors of its new four story and 110,000-square-foot (10,000 m2) facility to house all of its academic and research operations. [4]
Prior to the establishment of the school, San Diego was the largest metropolitan city in the United States without a local pharmacy school. [5]
