Our mission...

The Concordia University Wisconsin School of Pharmacy is a Lutheran higher education community committed to the development of compassionate, knowledgeable and ethical pharmacists dedicated to providing exemplary patient care. This will be accomplished by providing a comprehensive pharmacy education that balances education, service and research. Our focus is to prepare pharmacy practitioners dedicated to advancing patient-centered pharmaceutical care through medication therapy management in Wisconsin and throughout the country, by working closely with patients and all other healthcare providers to address the physical, mental and spiritual needs of each patient.

Our curriculum, combined with a holistic approach to student development, promotes leadership skills and an enthusiasm for life-long learning through excellence in teaching, service and scholarship. We will produce graduates who will be servant-leaders in the pharmacy community and to Christ in the church and in the world.

Our vision...
We will have an inspired, supportive atmosphere that compliments the university mission by nurturing the mind, body and spirit of each student. The school will take full advantage of its metropolitan location to enter into alliances and strategic partnerships with local, regional and national healthcare entities to advance our mission of producing pharmacists ready to practice in rural and urban areas, thereby serving Christ in the Church and in the world.

   Accreditation Disclosure Statement
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-US 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 a 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 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. Graduates of a class designated as having Candidate accreditation status have the same rights and privileges of those graduates from a fully accredited program. ACPE conveys its decisions to the various boards of pharmacy and makes recommendations in accord with its decisions. It should be noted, 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.

The Doctor of Pharmacy program of the Concordia University Wisconsin School of Pharmacy was awarded Precandidate accreditation status during the January 20-24, 2010, meeting of the ACPE Board of Directors based upon an on-site evaluation conducted November 11-13, 2009, and discussion with University and School officials. Following the enrollment of the inaugural class of students in fall 2010, an on-site evaluation will be scheduled during academic year 2010-2011 for purposes of gathering additional information to be considered in the Board’s consideration of advancement to Candidate accreditation status. Based upon this evaluation, should the Board feel that Candidate accreditation status cannot be conferred, the School could respond to the Board’s concerns and reapply prior to the graduation of the first class. If Candidate accreditation status is not granted even after reapplication, graduates may not be eligible for licensure as pharmacists. If Candidate accreditation status is granted and the program continues to develop as planned, Full accreditation status of the Doctor of Pharmacy program would be considered by the Board following the graduation of students from the program.
