This school had a review last spring and it looks like their status is still pre-accredited. Does anyone specifically know why this school didn’t get full accreditation?

PBA just graduated it's first class this spring. Was this review before that class had graduated? I don't think you receive full accrediation until that first class has graduated.

Hi flyer, I think I remember seeing your name in the accepted thread for PBAU and that you would be attending, so hopefully I'll get to see/know you eventually.

EDIT: Actually I just double checked the thread, it appears your name is not on the list. Oh well, must of been another thread I saw you post in or someone else with a similar name. Hopefully you get into PBAU, its really a great school with an awesome atmosphere (the location isn't bad either!).

Anyhow, you can check the current accreditation status at: http://cosmas.pba.edu/pharmacy/Accreditation.htm

Looks like they anticipate being fully accredited sometime during this upcoming semester (before 2006 rolls around).

I can't wait to start class, however like I said in another thread I am kind of nervous! Cya soon! 😉

EDIT: It's also worth noting the first class graduated Saturday, April 31st, 2005 (at least I believe that is the first class) which was after the Jan. meeting, so they're on track!

I'd just like to bring it to everyone's attention that PBA has been granted FULL ACCREDITATION by the ACPE
