Full accreditation is the final step. "Our first class will graduate in the spring of 2010, which will then make us eligible for accreditation," Reddy said, "This is a journey, not a destination. I am confident we will succeed."
The College of Pharmacy is the first professional program in south Texas and Reddy said they will be in the top 5 percent in the country. "Our average PCAT score of admitted students this year was
80 percent, which is very high - 78 percent was the highest in the country last year," Reddy said.
Both Thompson and Flores said that the College of Pharmacy is very student-focused. "We have a sense of a tight-knit campus, family feeling," Flores said. He said the students know the faculty wants to help them excel, "From the dean all the way down, even custodians, anyone you can talk to says it's really nice, you don't feel intimidated."
"I expect them to continue a student-centered education and keep up the standard of excellence," Thompson said.
