About University of Kansas School of Pharmacy & Dillons Pharmacy Community-Based Residency

The University of Kansas: In 1866, the University of Kansas welcomed the first class of 55 students to an unfinished building on a treeless ridge called Mount Oread. Today, our enrollment approaches 30,000. From that single building, we have grown to five campuses — the Lawrence campus, the Edwards Campus in Overland Park, and medical branches in Kansas City, Wichita, and Salina. The once barren landscape has grown into a wooded campus considered one of the most beautiful in the nation. Dillons, a Division of Kroger: The Kroger Co. is present in 34 states with over 2,100 pharmacies across the nation.
