The Ben and Maytee Fisch College of Pharmacy at The University of Texas at Tyler is at the forefront of pharmacy education. Centering around innovative, student-focused learning, our program teaches future pharmacists the solutions-oriented skills used day-to-day in the healthcare field. Our students graduate ready to become a valuable asset to any healthcare team and deliver compassionate and effective patient care.
Understand how you can serve others and improve healthcare delivery with a four-year professional Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree. Before you begin the program, you must hold an undergraduate degree or have completed a number of prerequisite courses, as well as fulfilled the Texas Core Curriculum requirements. Several admissions pathways help you reach your professional goals.
In the classroom, students work in groups to solve real-world scenarios — an approach that promotes critical thinking, problem-solving and communication skills. Our state-of-the-art facility, W.T. Brookshire Hall, lends itself to this level of collaboration between students and faculty. Within this scope, students also complete at least two years of prerequisites and one capstone course.
A third of our curriculum is devoted to professional practice experiences, which start at the beginning of your studies. For the first three years, participate in hands-on training by completing Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences (IPPE) and then complete Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPE) in your fourth year. Throughout, you apply what you’ve learned in the classroom to a variety of healthcare settings, rotating from hospitals to community clinics. Our more than 1,000 preceptors — practicing pharmacists — share their expertise and prepare you to become an exceptional pharmacist.
Along with mentoring students, Fisch College of Pharmacy faculty bring their specialized, on-the-job understanding of ambulatory care, hospital practice, adult medicine, critical care and other disciplines into the classroom and conduct research to advance the field and care delivery. Students benefit from their research expertise as well as their practical knowledge.
