Curriculum The Amarillo College Pharmacy Technology program is designed to be completed in one academic year. Sequencing of the PHT coursework begins in the Fall Semester of each year. All fall PHT courses are pre-requisites for all spring PHT courses. A student may begin the program in the spring semester, but in doing so may only enroll in any or all of the three non-PHT related courses. It is recommended that these related courses be completed in advance of enrollment in the PHT coursework to ease the PHT class schedule.
