History

McWhorter was established January 31, 1927 as the Howard College Department of Pharmacy as one of Samford University's ten schools, with a handful of students and a small number of faculty.[2]

The original School of Pharmacy opened in 1927 and closed in 1929 due to national economic difficulty and new accreditation requirements. In 1932, the School of Pharmacy reopened.[3]

In 1995, it was named after R. Clayton McWhorter.[4]
