Deans and Faculties

Accreditation is the public recognition accorded a professional program that is judged to meet established qualifications and educational standards through initial and subsequent periodic evaluations. Accreditation applies to professional programs and is distinguished from certification or licensure, which applies to individuals. Professional programs in pharmacy are those leading to the the doctor of pharmacy degree. Those programs accredited by the ACPE are listed on the ACPE website. Recognition of the doctor of pharmacy program on the ACPE website denotes overall compliance with the standards of the respective degree program. It does not imply or infer that all doctor of pharmacy programs are totally equivalent. Accreditation standards include both quantitative and qualitative parameters.
