Accreditation
Regional Accreditation
The University holds membership in the North Central
Association of Colleges and Schools. This recognition signifies
that the University is accredited. The Higher Learning Commission
of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools has
approved the University to award the doctor of pharmacy degree.
Pharmacy Accreditation
Cedarville University’s Doctor of Pharmacy program has
been granted candidate status by the Accreditation Council for
Pharmacy Education, 135 South LaSalle Street, Suite 4100,
Chicago, IL 60603, 312/644-3575; Fax 312/664-4652, web site
acpe-accredit.org.
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-
U.S. 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 college or School of Pharmacy that has not
yet enrolled students in the professional program and authorizes
the school to admit its first class. Candidate accreditation status
is awarded to a Doctor of Pharmacy program that is currently
recognized by ACPE with Precandidate status and 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.
With respect to clarification of the meaning of Candidate
accreditation status, graduates of a program so designed would,
in the opinion of ACPE, have the same rights and privileges of the
those graduates from a fully accredited program. The Candidate
accreditation status denotes a developmental program that is
expected to mature in accord with stated plans within a defined
time period. It should be underscored, 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. Should Candidate
accreditation status be awarded to a program, ACPE would,
however, make its position known and make recommendations
consistent with that position.
Admission Criteria
Cedarville University invites applications for the Pharm.D.
program from Cedarville undergraduate students pursuing the
Bachelor of Science in pharmaceutical sciences degree with
Preferred Admission status in the School of Pharmacy, and
from graduates of accredited baccalaureate programs who will
have completed all prepharmacy prerequisite courses by the fall
semester of intended enrollment who are able to present a strong
academic record and a testimony of faith in Jesus Christ. Each
candidate will be reviewed on an individual basis.
In addition to the general admission requirements listed in the
Graduate Admissions section of this catalog, students must meet
the following requirements:
• Meet all program prerequisites. Students not meeting program
prerequisites or admission standards may be considered for
conditional admission to the program.
