UNT got the green light during Texas’ 81st Legislative Session to work in conjunction with UNT at Dallas to study the creation of a pharmacy program.

The program would help address the shortage of pharmacists in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

In addition, the UNT System gained approval to create the UNT at Dallas College of Law and was awarded the funds necessary to get started. It will be the first public law school created in Texas since 1967 and address the needs of the nation’s largest metropolitan center without a public venue for legal education.
