Has anyone heard about Touro University? I haven't seen any threads on this. They are admitting for Fall 2005 for those who are applying this year.

New schools aren't accredited and are not eligible for full accreditation until they have graduated their first class. There are several current pharmacy students at the newer schools on here that can explain the process more in depth.

Really? But... Touro isn't new (just their rx program) and even have several other well-established professional schools to their name. Give it a few years & I'm sure they will both produce fine pharmacists. 🙂

😕 Just too many new pharmacy schools opening today. But the sad thing is the trend to accept students + quality of producing good pharmacists tend to decrease...Am I wrong?

I wish U. South Fla would open a Pharmacy college. 🙁

That would have been awesome. They already have a medical school and FAMU does their final clinical year at USF. It would cut my commute time down to 30 minutes, too.

It's about the college of pharmacy being new, not the university itself. 👍

No doubt. I'm already a student there. 🙂

True true, the program is new - but I sorta have this biased opinion that if the school is alraedy established.. than they probably have a better idea of how to run things. I know this isn't the right mentality... just look at USN, new school/new program - they're doing great! 🙂 My cousin goes to HICP - says it's a nice program & that ppl shouldnt worry too much.

I gotta say... HICP has a much better website than Touro. 😀
