This three-week program gives students an introduction to pharmacy and research through a combination of classroom learning, hands-on experience, and mentorship. They complete a research project, conduct experiments in research labs, learn about pharmacy policies and practices, tour Chapman\u2019s Rinker and Orange campuses, and connect with current students and faculty. The program concludes with a certificate of completion, and students may request a letter of recommendation from their faculty mentors.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:360,&quot;335559739&quot;:120}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-2933\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/pharmacy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2026\/09\/high-school-research-program-300x166.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"324\" height=\"179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/pharmacy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2026\/09\/high-school-research-program-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/pharmacy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2026\/09\/high-school-research-program.jpg 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 324px) 100vw, 324px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"none\">From High School Researchers to Pharm.D.
