UNE College of Pharmacy granted pre-candidacy status

 The University of New England College of Pharmacy in Portland was notified on June 29, 2009  that the school has been granted pre-candidacy status by the national Accreditation Council on Pharmacy Education in Chicago.
 
The status means the council has approved the school's academic and clinical programs so it can open and enroll students this fall. 
 
The council will monitor the school's progress through graduation of a first class in four years before granting full accreditation.

UNE has a fully enrolled first-year class of 100 students for September 2009.
