The Texas A&M University Irma Lerma Rangel College of Pharmacy proudly established the Aggie Pharmacy Technician Program (PTP) in 2023 to help address the pharmacy technician shortage problem in Texas. The shortage in Texas is expected to grow even more by 2033. The Rangel College of Pharmacy is eager to be a part of the solution to this problem.

The Rangel College of Pharmacy opened in fall 2006 with a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program. Since the very beginning, we have been exceptional in meeting our mission. The Aggie PTP program too will be outstanding as we have developed this program to meet the gold standard accreditation requirements of the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) and the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE).

The Aggie PTP curriculum is based on a model where students practice in retail or hospital pharmacies what they learn in the classroom and lab. When students begin their hands-on phase, they will practice as pharmacy technician trainees.
