One of the college’s ongoing points of pride is its cultivation of international partnerships that yield educational and research opportunities for students and faculty. The college has active partnerships in several countries, including Hungary, China, Lebanon, India, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. New partnerships are being developed in Mexico and Great Britain.
A key feature of the college’s international partnerships is an exchange of students and faculty. Students from the college’s BS in Pharmaceutical Sciences program may complete their required summer internships abroad, and students from partner institutions study with faculty at UT.
The partnerships have enhanced the experiences of students participating in the exchange. Chi Nworah, an exchange student from University of Szeged who studied at UT in summer 2012, said of her experience, “It’s just amazing how my curriculum now looks like a repetition of what I learned with you. It was an experience of a lifetime and am grateful for every second.”
