History
editIn 1884 a two-year School of Pharmacy was founded. The School of Nursing began as a program in 1963 and was incorporated as a department into the Purdue University College of Technology in 1964. In 1979 the School of Health Sciences was formed under the newly organized Schools of Pharmacy, Nursing, and Health Sciences. In 2005 this group was renamed the College of Pharmacy, Nursing, and Health Sciences.[3] Five years later, the Schools of Nursing and Health Sciences became part of the new College of Health and Human Sciences, and the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences became the College of Pharmacy.[4]
