Read What Students Are SayingThe teachers are great, but you have to get used to them. They make sure you understand the material and are helpful. You will need to learn but will learn.
Adam from Pawcatuck, CT
The teachers are great, and go out of their way to help you and make sure you understand everything. They do their best to make sure you are ready for each test.
Nicole from Port Ewen, NY
There's a lot of work to be done, as well as a lot of studying and memorizing. It's great, if you can keep on top of the workload. The professors are brilliant as well. They're nice, smart, approachable, and really knows what they're doing.
Jennifer from Manlius, NY
the teachers seem very insightful and helpful
Robert from Westpark, NY
This school is obviously focused on pharmacy and is very expensive to intend. Do not come here unless you are absolutely sure you want to become a pharmacist and make the commitment to work.
Kelly from Cuyler, NY
ACPHS is an outstanding option for students ready to take on a fast paced education. There are many options available outside of the Doctor of Pharmacy program that will foster your learning. Overall it has been an amazing experiance so far.
