Belmont University today announced it will open a School of Pharmacy for the 2008-2009 academic year.
The private Nashville university has been building its allied health programs in recent years through the expansion of its nursing school, involvement in a Partners in Nursing consortium with several other universities, and construction of the $22.5 million College of Health Sciences & Nursing facility.
The four-year, graduate pharmacy program is intended to help alleviate a predicted nationwide pharmacist shortage, projected at 157,000 in the U.S. and 1,060 in Tennessee, according to Belmont.
Lipscomb University, also in Nashville, received approval for its pharmacy college in November and will enroll its inaugural class in the fall of 2008 as well.
Belmont has nearly 4,500 students.
