Student Perspectives

Studying pharmacy at UT Tyler has been a complete joy. My favorite part of being a student here is the close-knit community, where my professors knew me by name and my classmates are a part of my "pharmacy family". I hope to return to UT Tyler one day as a faculty member, so I can give back to everyone who's given so much to me.

Collaborative, Solution-Focused Education

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.
