Accreditation Disclosure Explanation
The Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) accredits Doctor of Pharmacy programs offered by Colleges and Schools of Pharmacy in the United States and selected non-US sites. For a Doctor of Pharmacy program offered by a new College or School of Pharmacy, ACPE accreditation generally involves three steps: Precandidate accreditation status, Candidate accreditation status, and Full accreditation status. Precandidate accreditation status denotes a developmental program that is expected to mature in accord with stated plans and within a defined time period. Precandidate accreditation status is awarded to a new program of a College or School of Pharmacy that has not yet enrolled students in the professional program and authorizes the program to admit its first class. Candidate accreditation status is awarded to a Doctor of Pharmacy program that has students enrolled but has not yet had a graduating class. Full accreditation status is awarded to a program that has met all ACPE standards for accreditation and has graduated its first class. Graduates of a class designated as having Candidate accreditation status have the same rights and privileges of those graduates from a fully accredited program. ACPE conveys its decisions to the various boards of pharmacy and makes recommendations in accord with its decisions. It should be noted, however, that decisions concerning eligibility for licensure by examination or reciprocity reside with the respective state boards of pharmacy in accordance with their state statutes and administrative rules.
The accreditation term granted for the Doctor of Pharmacy program extends until June 30, 2029, which represents the customary eight-year term between self-studies and comprehensive evaluations. The academic year for the next currently scheduled review of the Doctor of Pharmacy program for purposes of continued accreditation is 2028-2029. This schedule is contingent upon maintenance of the presently observed quality during the stated accreditation term. A required on‐site verification visit will take place at a time that is practical and with mutual agreement between ACPE and the program Dean.
The purpose of the verification visit is to confirm the findings of the virtual site visit team. The ACPE Board of Directors reserves the right to revise its accreditation action or to alter these dates based upon monitoring, such as written reports and/or focused on-site reviews as may be scheduled during the accreditation term stated above.
For an explanation of ACPE accreditation process, consult ACPE (). This website will be regularly updated to reflect any changes in status.
