Does anyone know if ACPE (Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education) put a cap on how many students, a school can graduate (like maximum number of seats, a school is allowed to have)?

Nope, as long as they can prove they have the facilities, faculty, etc to handle those students.

unfortunately, no...

graduation? no

they can and do put limits on matriculating students...that number is ~80. So if you're a new school that enrolls 90 their first year, you're going to get a phone call from ACPE asking wtf is going on.

limiting P-1 matriculation indirectly limits the # of graduates

I thought there are many schools with >=100 students per class?

There are. Mine has like 130. Rutgers has like 300+ if I remember correctly

My class currently have 335 students. I am a P2 student. The class above us (p3) have 250 students and class below us (p1) have 315 students.

They had to totally destroy our lecture hall and made a new lecture hall with more seating arrangement just for our class.

haha do you go to mcphs too?

I cant stand our seating, for one person to leave an entire row of people must stand up and move. It's not distracting at all.

You bet. That is why I always seat near the edge. What year are you in?

I'm a p2 also. I sit in the back near the edge. Good luck in pharmacology tomorrow!

Good luck to you too. See, this is how I procrastinate. The kids in our class are crazy, they study like 24 hours a day.

You know why I asked this question? Because I just wanted to verify what the dean said is true.

Univ. of New England had 100 for their first class!!😡

quite peculiar...CNCP had 90, i would imagine that's the reason why its receiving candidate status was delayed.

there are probably other factors like faculty ratios that need to be considered....or maybe Univ. of NE just messed up and underestimated the # of people who would accept and matriculate.

Thank God though. The old Reed Hall sucked and those 200 year old blue seats smelled like mold and dust.

The dean told us there is no cap on how many students the school can graduate at a time.
There were many people in my class who think the school has to flunk out X amount of students by graduation.
