Renovation to existing facilities will result in less waste than would a teardown-and-rebuild approach. Financial Overview: Occidental has exhibited consistent operating results over the review period, supported by steady growth in tuition revenue. Occidental continues to maintain solid asset growth while reducing their liabilities and the Statement of Financial Position appears strong with a solid debt service coverage ratio of 2.89x.

  • Six Years to a Pharmacy Career: a Community College Partnership Your Health Sciences Students Have Big Dreams
    SCHOOL OF PHARMACY AND HEALTH SCIENCES Six Years to a Pharmacy Career: A Community College Partnership Your health sciences students have big dreams. Their ambition may be to work in a hospital, working directly with patients who need their help. Some may imagine themselves using science to fight for the health of our communities through public initiatives or regulatory work. Others may see themselves at a bench in a research lab or at a desk in a corner office, helping to discover new drugs and bring them to patients in need. A pharmacy degree can carry them to any of these places. And yet, students don’t always think that a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) is in their reach. Keck Graduate Institute (KGI) would like to partner with community colleges to make these dreams more accessible. By building a clear path for students and working together, we can help students go from high school to pharmacy careers in as little as six years. KGI School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences Community College Partnership About the KGI School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (SPHS) KGI has built upon its leadership in combining bioscience with enterprise to create a PharmD program unlike any other. KGI leverages close biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry ties with strengths in computational sciences and entrepreneurship found in the professional master’s and postdoctoral programs to prepare doctors of pharmacy to fulfill a wide range of integral healthcare roles. Required and optional industry experiential education provides students with a breadth of hands-on training designed to enhance their skills and knowledge, while increasing their competitiveness in the job market.
