Touro College of Pharmacy Achieves Record-Breaking NAPLEX Pass Rate

Touro College of Pharmacy (TCOP) has achieved its highest-ever North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) first-time pass rate, with 93% of graduates successfully passing on their initial attempt. This historic achievement places TCOP first among all New York City pharmacy schools, second in New York State, and significantly above both state and national averages.

The outstanding results position TCOP in the top 25% of pharmacy schools nationwide, ranking 31st out of 142 accredited pharmacy institutions across the country. This milestone represents the best performance in the school's history.

"This achievement would not have been possible without the extraordinary hard work and dedication of our students, supported by the collaborative efforts of our faculty and staff," said Henry Cohen, Pharm.D., M.S., FCCM, Dean of Touro College of Pharmacy. "These results confirm the efficacy of our student-focused approach to learning and student success."

Dr. Alan Kadish, President of Touro University, praised the achievement: "This record-breaking NAPLEX performance exemplifies the excellence we strive for across all Touro institutions. Our pharmacy graduates are now among the best-prepared pharmacists in the nation, ready to serve their communities with the highest level of professional competence."

The NAPLEX is a critical examination that pharmacy graduates must pass to obtain licensure and practice as pharmacists. TCOP's exceptional performance reflects the institution's commitment to preparing the next generation of pharmacists for professional success.
