The mission of The Canadian Council for Accreditation of Pharmacy Programs is to evaluate the quality of pharmacy professional degree programs in Canadian universities and to promote continued improvement of such programs.

The goals of the Council are:

1. To formulate the educational, scientific, and professional principles and standards which an approved Faculty of Pharmacy is expected to meet and maintain, and to revise these principles and standards as necessary.
2. To appraise any Faculty of Pharmacy that requests the approval of the Council.
3. To publish a list of approved Faculties of Pharmacy and to revise such list annually or as frequently as may be deemed desirable.
4. To satisfy itself that Faculties which have been approved maintain the required standards and to withdraw approval of any Faculty failing to maintain standards formulated by the Council.
5. To assist in the advancement and improvement of pharmaceutical education with the ultimate aim of improving pharmacy practice for the benefit of all Canadians.
