The Arnold & Marie Schwartz College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences has been a leader in pharmacy education since its founding in 1886. The college attracts a diverse student population and provides quality pharmacy education through its pursuit of excellence and innovation in teaching, scholarship, and service. The campus environment encourages and promotes creativity, innovation, and collegiality. Consistent with the mission of 91ÅÝܽ, the college maintains a strong commitment to access and excellence. In an effort to be consistent with national benchmarks and standards, the College's Curriculum Committee and the Assessment Committee periodically review the program ensuring that it adheres to these national benchmarks, guidelines and standards.
In 2022, the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) developed the fifth version of the Center for the Advancement of Pharmacy Education (CAPE) educational outcomes (EO). Educational Outcomes are statements that describe what a learner should be able to do at the end of a program. Educational Outcomes represent the knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs) of pharmacists that all students should demonstrate upon graduation. The EOs were created to facilitate curricular discussions with faculty and preceptors within the Academy and to guide curriculum planning, delivery, and assessment within pharmacy programs.
The EOs serve as the guiding framework for course/curricular review, development of co--curricular and extracurricular activities, mapping, assessment, and remediation efforts of the college. The outcomes are presented in three domains as outlined below.
