As an institution with a prominent history of specializing in medical careers, the University provides traditional and accelerated programs of study that combine in-depth knowledge with hands-on clinical practice focused on professional education in pharmacy and the health sciences. Its location within the Longwood Medical and Academic Area provides students with academic and clinical opportunities at various prestigious medical and research institutions. Since 2000, MCPHS University has expanded to include two additional campuses, located in Worcester, Massachusetts, and Manchester, New Hampshire. ==History== Founded as the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy in 1823 by fourteen Boston pharmacists, MCPHS University is the oldest institution of higher education in Boston. It is also the second-oldest and largest college of Pharmacy in the United States, preceded only by the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy (Now University of the Sciences in Philadelphia), which was founded in 1821. In 1825, the University published the First ''American Pharmaceutical Library Catalogue'', detailing the effects of many pharmaceuticals. In 1852, the University received a charter from the Great Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to grant its first formal degree.〔 Accessed: 04/06/15〕 In 1918, the University established the George Robert White Building in Boston’s Longwood Medical Area, across from Harvard Medical School to serve as its main campus. In 1979, The General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts approved a change in the University's charter to allow degree granting authority in the allied health sciences, and the University officially changed its name to the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Sciences. The institution would later shorten its name to Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS). In 2000, MCPHS added a campus in campus in Worcester, Massachusetts and in 2002 it added another campus in Manchester, New Hampshire. Also in 2002, MCPHS acquired the Forsyth School of Dental Hygienists and incorporated it into the University by adding a Dental Hygiene program. During this period, MCPHS grew to include a School of Pharmacy, a School of Physician Assistant Studies, a School of Optometry, a School of Physical Therapy, a School of Arts and Sciences, School of Nursing, a School of Dental Hygiene, and a School of Medical Imaging and Therapeutics.〔 Accessed: 04/06/15〕 To reflect this expansion and the diversity of programs it offers while preserving its well-known acronym “MCPHS,” the institution legally changed its name to MCPHS University in the spring of 2013. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MCPHS University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
