History of the College
The College of Pharmacy at Butler University originated in
1904 with the founding of the Winona Technical Institute. In 1914,
the pharmacy department separated from the institute to become the
Indianapolis College of Pharmacy (ICP). In 1930 the ICP became one
of the first pharmacy colleges to create a four-year baccalaureate
curriculum. In 1945 Butler and the Indianapolis College of Pharmacy
merged, and erected a new building on Butler's campus in 1950. The
building, with its fully mediated classrooms and state-of-the-art
research and teaching laboratories, was completely renovated in
2008-2009. The name of the college was changed to College of
Pharmacy and Health Sciences when the Physician Assistant program
was developed in 1995.
