UTEP Pharmacy School set to start classes in August
The University of Texas at El Paso Pharmacy School, the first of its kind on the Texas-Mexico border, has received the okay to begin taking applications for its first class of students this fall.
The Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education on Tuesday granted the program a pre-candidate status, which allows the school to begin classes in the fall semester. The decision was based on several criteria, including an intense two-day visit, curriculum reviews and a visit to the school's labs and classrooms.
“This is a significant step in what has been a long journey,” founding dean José O. Rivera said in a statement. "We have worked extremely hard to get to this point."
Rivera said the status is a watershed moment for the school, UTEP and the community because the school will offer a curriculum more in line with what is needed culturally in El Paso and in communities across the U.S. with growing Hispanic populations.
