Concentration:
- Pharmacy and Health Education
Also offered as:
The USF Health Taneja College of Pharmacy (TCOP) curriculum is very similar to that offered by other schools and colleges across the state of Florida and the country. This is purposeful as there are standards that must be upheld by all pharmacy programs to remain in accordance with national accreditation, financial aid and state regulatory requirements. The USF TCOP Mission, Vision and Goals serve to guide curricular content as well as other TCOP endeavors. The integration of technology, student engagement in the educational process, and interprofessional activities serve as the foundation for each course. The faculty will utilize a variety of instructional methods to foster student attainment of course objectives.
All students will be enrolled on a full-time basis. Several courses may be taught predominantly on-line; however, the majority of courses will include classroom contact. Lectures will be limited so that peer and faculty interactions can be maximized. For many courses, students may be required to listen to lectures on-line, or complete activities and/or assignments in preparation for class. The emphasis of the USF TCOP is the comprehension and assimilation of knowledge, with subsequent demonstration of competency (skills and abilities).
Accreditation
Accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE).
