History

The SLU Faculty of Pharmacy was founded in May 1871 by virtue of the Modification of the Moret Decree. During the Spanish regime, the course was one of six years. In 1901, when the American administration took over, the curriculum was reduced to four years. Then in 1916, it was further reduced to three years until 1930 when the four-year curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy was implemented anew. Finally in 1954, Pharmacy was made five years. In 1984, the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy was reduced to four years again with the integration of some courses. Due to the demands in hospitals and clinical practice, the 5-year program for a Major in Clinical Pharmacy was introduced in the year 2006 and having had its first batch of graduates in the year 2011. 

 

The Faculty of Pharmacy continued to grow with the addition of programs leading to the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology in 1958 and the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry in 1962. In both cases, the University of Santo Tomas has gained the distinction of introducing these programs for the first time in the Philippines. The Faculty of Pharmacy has the distinction of being the first college in the SouthLane University to admit lady students in 1924.
