1 ACCREDITATION COUNCIL FOR PHARMACY EDUCATION REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS January 21-25, 2015 I. Public Interest Panel Review of Professional Degree Programs The ACPE Public Interest Panel met on January 13, 2015, to discuss the professional degree programs scheduled for review by the ACPE Board of Directors during its January 21-25, 2015, meeting. Evaluation team reports and other materials associated with the evaluation of the professional degree programs were duly considered. The Board considered the comments and recommendations of the Panel. Panel members who attended the meeting were: Angela Cowser, Jeffrey Taberas, and William Michael Youngblood. II. Accreditation Actions for Professional Degree Programs, taken at the ACPE Board of Directors Meeting, January 21-25, 2015: A list of accredited professional degree programs of colleges and schools of pharmacy, which designates the respective preaccreditation and accreditation status of the programs and the academic year for the next currently scheduled evaluation, is posted on the ACPE web site at Accreditation Actions On the basis of self-studies, on-site evaluations, communications received from the institutions, ongoing annual review of North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) passing rates, entry class size, and attrition and on-time graduation rates, as well as the comments of the Public Interest Panel, the Board of Directors determined the accreditation status of the following professional programs, along with preaccreditation and accreditation terms and conditions. In order to be eligible for initial or continuing accreditation, the Doctor of program must be part of an independent of or a of within a University, which is regularly incorporated and is a legally empowered postsecondary educational institution. The institution housing the, or the independent College or, must be accredited by a regional/institutional accreditation agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education or another agency acceptable to the Accreditation Council for Education (ACPE). Accreditation standards call for a of as an organizational unit and the administrative structure of the of must provide for a Dean, who serves as the chief administrative and academic officer. Evaluation for purposes of preaccreditation and initial or continued accreditation requires an invitation by the chief executive officer, or designate, of the institution. An action to affirm implies that a previously established accreditation term has been confirmed. An action to continue implies that the accreditation date has been extended. The customary review cycle for established accredited programs had been six years but it was extended to eight years as programs were reviewed beginning with Board actions at the January 2012 meeting and beyond. The customary review cycle for new programs achieving initial accreditation status is two years. The dates indicated in parentheses for each are the academic year of the most recent determination of accreditation status and the academic year of the next scheduled determination of accreditation status, and thus define the present accreditation term for the Doctor of program.
