Facilities

The Master of Applied Natural Products program is a part of the MCPHS School of Pharmacy, home to one of the largest and oldest pharmacy programs in the nation. With state-of-the-art facilities and constantly evolving and improving curricula, a diverse array of programs educate students to become critical thinkers, to fill vital positions across a broad spectrum of the health care industry, and to become responsible health care professionals.

At Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, nearly 100,000 square feet of space is dedicated to pharmacy practice and pharmaceutical sciences education and research across the Boston, Worcester, and Manchester campuses. Professional pharmacy practice laboratories and classrooms are all new or newly renovated. These spaces afford students with a comfortable, open and airy, climate-controlled environment for learning.

MCPHS offers state-of-the-art laboratories and equipment for students and faculty to engage in pharmaceutical science research. Research facilities have been renovated recently with technologically advanced equipment, such as a Raman spectrometer and a Fluorescent Imaging Plate Reader.

The MCPHS Boston campus features a $30-million Academic and Student Center completed in 2004. The six-story, 93,000-square-foot building houses a comprehensive, high-tech library; chemistry, pharmacy, and computer laboratories; and four floors of apartment-style residences for 230 students. Recent, significant renovations have also been made to the adjacent White and Fennell Buildings, which include patient care laboratories, new classrooms and additional student study and learning spaces.

On the Boston campus MANP students have access to the renowned MCPHS Center for Drug Information and Natural Products, which has provided drug information to health care providers and consumers since 1994.
