College of Pharmacy

TxPHARM in a non-traditional program designed to meet the needs of practicing pharmacists in Texas who desire to enhance their knowledge, skills, and credentials through completion of the Doctor of Pharmacy degree. This program is intended to be widely available and is not a specialty, post-B.S., or graduate-level program.

The practice of pharmacy, like all health professions, is undergoing rapid change. With the emergence of technology and automation, the focus of pharmacy practice is shifting from drug distribution to patient care. Pharmacists have been given expanded clinical practice roles, termed pharmaceutical care. This program has been developed to provide practicing pharmacists the enhanced knowledge and skills required for expanded clinical practice.

TxPHARM is a cooperative program. Participating institutions include Texas Southern University, Texas Tech University, University of Houston, and University of Texas at Austin. These institutions share faculty, deliver a common core curriculum, coordinate admissions to equalize enrollment, charge the same state-based tuition (although fees may vary), and use comparable instructional methodologies and student assessments. As designed, the program provides for the cooperative delivery of doctoral education to busy practitioners currently licensed in the state using proven adult educational strategies and electronic instructional methods in the delivery of the program to every region of the state.
