    History

    The School was authorized by the Regents of the University of California in July 2000. The school was named on November 4, 2004 in recognition of a $30 million gift, the largest ever to UCSD Health Sciences, from the Skaggs Institute of Research. The inaugural class began in the Fall of 2002 with 25 Doctorate of Pharmacy students, and graduated the first class of students in the Spring of 2006.

    On May 2, 2006, the School opened the doors of its new four story and 110,000-square-foot (10,000 m2) facility to house all of its academic and research operations.

    Currently

    As of 2015, enrollment is 240 Pharm.D. students, 60 Ph.D. students and 30 pharmacy residents. The school accepts 60 Pharm.D. students per year.
