Canidate and Pre-Canidate school?

 

[nicolemsm]

"Pre-candidate: A new program that has no students enrolled, but has a dean, may be granted pre-candidate accreditation status. This indicates that the college’s or school’s planning for the professional program(s) has taken into account ACPE standards and suggests reasonable assurances of moving to the next step, that of candidate status. Full public disclosure by the college or school of the terms and conditions of pre-candidate status is required.

Candidate: A new program that has students enrolled but has not had a graduating class may be granted candidate status. The granting of candidate status denotes a developmental program, which has taken into account ACPE accreditation standards and is expected to mature in accord with stated plans within a defined time period. Reasonable assurances exist that the program will become accredited as programmatic experience is gained, generally, by the time the first class has been graduated. Graduates of a class designated as having candidate status have the same rights and privileges as graduates of a program that has accreditation status."​

It's almost like there's a search engine called Google that could've helped you with this inquiry...

OK, can someone explain to me what this "Google" is? I hear a lot of people talking about it but I don't know what it is.

So what happens if I attend a college of pharmacy that is only candidate status right now, and then halfway through (say, during P2), the school graduates its inaugural class but it can't get Full Accreditation Status? Would my Pharm.D. degree be useless then?

I don't think he could have... he needs to spell canDidate right first.

Then again, Google would have corrected his error.

A candidate is a chosen individual with the potential to replace Jacob as the Island's protector.

If a school graduates its inaugural class and is not granted full accreditation the program must be shut down. While this is extremely unlikely to happen, it would probably mean you had wasted however many years and dollars you spent in the program.
