As I understand, both colleges are not fully accredited . As I understand and Pacific and Souther Nevada are candidates. What does it mean? As I understand, if they fail to become accredited then the graduates wont be able to get license and practice pharmacy, right?
How long till they will get the full accreditation?

As I understand it, the "candidate" status means they've matriculated their first class, but have yet to graduate a class. The schools have to go through various documentation and graded visits, but generally if they are doing fine in the process, they will become fully accredited when they graduate their first class. I don't know about USN, but Pacific U will be graduating their first class this spring and expect to become accredited at that time.

There really is very little to be worried about for a school in "candidate" status. Pre-candidate is the only one that can possibly lose accredidation. If you were to go to the school, you will be allowed to sit for the boards no matter what happens. The main downside is not knowing the pass rates.

what do you mean by "sit for the boards"? You mean even if the school looses accreditation I still will be able to take the boards and if I pass, get my pharmacist license?

USN has been fully accredited since 2004. In fact, i am a graduated pharmacist from USN...and currently practicing pharmacy with all rights and privileges...

yeah i read this thread and was like...is this thread old? USN's been fully accredited for a pretty long time...

For all intents and purposes.... candidate = fully accredited. You can argue semantics, but that's the gist of it.
