As part of a program review process, an evaluation was done of the academic pharmacy programs at the University of Florida and Florida A & M University. The evaluation was based on site visits and review of all self-study materials. The most prominent finding and related recommendation for both programs was that Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy programs at both institutions be eliminated and that the post-bachelors degree, Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm. D.) be the only entry-level program. This move would bring these institutions in line with current national standards. A review at both schools in 1985 had also strongly recommended discontinuing the bachelor's program but these recommendations were not approved. Other current recommendations concerning the University of Florida program include: review the curriculum, recruit new faculty, increase student and faculty diversity, address low faculty morale, bring faculty salaries to competitive levels, increase laboratory space and equipment. Recommendations for Florida A & M include increasing laboratory and office space, implementing an enrollment management program for the graduate program, improving financial aid administration, filling faculty vacancies, and exercising caution in expanding an existing Master's program to a Pharm. D. until a critical mass of graduate faculty is reached. Appendixes include information on the author, professional association statements on accreditation and degree program design, data on pharmacy programs nation-wide, and a survey on position concerning Pharm.
