Ben and Maytee Fisch College of Pharmacy
Dr. Lane J. Brunner, Dean
The Ben and Maytee Fisch College of Pharmacy (FCOP) is a new college within The University of Texas at Tyler. The College enrolled its first class of students in fall 2015. Students who graduate from the FCOP will earn a doctor of pharmacy degree that qualifies them to sit for the national licensure examinations. Those who successfully pass the licensure examinations are qualified to work as a pharmacist.
