History
The college admitted its first class in 1987 and was the only school of pharmacy in South Florida. Since its opening, the school has graduated over 6,000 alumni pursuing careers in healthcare.
The school's Bachelor of Science: Pharmacy program was dissolved on June 30, 1997, following a national trend mandating all future practicing pharmacists to pursue their Doctor of Pharmacy degree.[2]
In March 2023, the school was named as the Barry and Judy Silverman College of Pharmacy in honor of Board of Trustees Vice Chair, Dr. Barry Silverman, and his wife, Judy.[3]
