ACP is committed to serving the needs of rural and underserved communities in Appalachia and beyond. Founded in 2003, the Appalachian College of Pharmacy accepted its first students in 2005. It is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). ACP offers the only three-year Doctor of Pharm

acy program in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Our students graduate and enter the workforce one year earlier than graduates from a traditional four-year program and they do so with equivalent classroom hours and clinical training. Students save one year of tuition and related expenses, providing substantial monetary savings while they earn a quality pharmacy education, enabling them to enter the workforce and begin earning income one year earlier than those completing four-year programs. We call that ACP's $100K Advantage. The Appalachian College of Pharmacy's mission is to cultivate a learning community committed to education, community outreach and the professional development of pharmacists. A majority of our graduates are practicing pharmacy in the Appalachian Region -- positively impacting healthcare in an underserved region.
