Similar to the growth of its Downers Grove campus, the Glendale campus expanded beyond solely training physicians by opening a Glendale-based physician assistant master's degree program in the College of Health Sciences in 1997, and founding the College of Pharmacy-Glendale in 1998, the College of Dental Medicine-Arizona in 2006, the Arizona College of Optometry in 2009, and the College of Veterinary Medicine in 2012.
