The Pharmacy Department of the Medical College of the State of South Carolina was chartered

In 1881, the Medical College of South Carolina (as it was then known) was already a venerable institution, having been chartered in 1823 as the 10th medical school in the United States.

Its faculty voted to amend the charter in 1881 to create a Department of Pharmacy. The School was discontinued after two years, then resumed on a permanent basis in 1894.
