| History of School of Pharmacy |
|
Centro Escolar University , an institution of higher
learning, was established in 1907 by Librada Avelino and
Carmen de Luna. It is committed to the furtherance of its
founders' philosophy Ciencia
Y Virtud (Knowledge
and Virtue). The College of Pharmacy was the first college
established by CEU in June, 1921. In 1929, the 3-year
course was extended to 4 years leading to the degree of Bachelor
of Science in Pharmacy. The CEU College of Pharmacy was granted
a Government Recognition No. 32, Series of 1946 on February
27, 1946. Twenty-six years later, the B.S. Pharmacy degree
required 5 years of study, but in 1984, the B.S. Pharmacy
course was reverted to 4 years. In February 1999, it was
elevated to the School of Pharmacy to include supervision
of MS Pharmacy and PhD in Pharmacy programs. BS Pharmacy
was opened in the CEU Malolos campus in June 2001 while BS
Pharmacy and Pharm.D. (Doctor of Pharmacy) Program were offered
in CEU Makati campus in June 2005.
The CEU College of Pharmacy was chosen as
the pilot schools to undergo the Philippine Association of
Colleges
and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA) Accreditation
for Pharmacy. The
College was granted the Level 1 status
on September 4, 1989, the Level II status in 1992, re-accredited
Level II Status on February, 1995, and 2nd re-accredited
Level II Status in April 1999 and the 1st School of Pharmacy granted
the Level III status, the highest in the Philippine Education
System in December 2000. Such accredited status
implies that over and above the minimum government requirements,
the College program has attained academic excellence and trustworthiness
in educational operations.

Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (PACOP) since 1965.
It is a founding member of the Asian Association
