The Faculty of Pharmaceutial Science was originally established as the Department of Pharmacy in the Medical School of the First Senior High School in 1890, and is the oldest pharmaceutical faculty in Japanese national universities. The Faculty was reorganized as a faculty in Chiba University in 1949 after several changes in organization and name. In 1966, the Faculty was organized into two departments, namely, the Department of Pharmacy and the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry. These were integrated into the Department of General Pharmaceutical Sciences in 1979. Attached to the Faculty are two medicinal plant gardens containing over 700 different species of trees, shrubs and herbs.
