Admission to the Fred Wilson School of Pharmacy is competitive, so strong grades in Pre-Pharmacy courses are important. The High Point University Fred Wilson School of Pharmacy utilizes the PharmCAS common application system.

High Point University Fred Wilson School of Pharmacy’s Doctor of Pharmacy program has been granted Candidate status by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education, 135 South LaSalle Street, Suite 4100, Chicago, IL 60503,
312/644-3575; FAX 312/664-4652,
website http://www.acpe-accredit.org.

All chemistry and biology courses and laboratory sections should be accepted in the corresponding major.

HIGH POINT UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF PHARMACY ACCREDITATION STATUS

On July 11, 2017 High Point University received the following notification from the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE):

“High Point University Fred Wilson School of Pharmacy’s Doctor of Pharmacy program has been granted Candidate status by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education, 135 South LaSalle Street, Suite 4100, Chicago, IL 60603, 312/644-3575; FAX 866/228-2631, web site www.acpe-accredit.org.”

With respect to clarification of the meaning of Candidate status, graduates of a program so designed would, in the opinion of ACPE, have the same rights and privileges of those graduates from a fully accredited program. The Candidate status denotes a developmental program that is expected to mature in accord with stated plans within a defined time period. It should be underscored, 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. Should Candidate status be awarded to a program, ACPE would, however, make its position known and make recommendations consistent with that position.
