History
Butler University’s College of Pharmacy
and Health Sciences had its origin in 1904
with the founding of the Winona Technical
Institute. Subsequently, the Pharmacy
department separated from the Institute to
become the Indianapolis College of Pharmacy,
one of the first Pharmacy colleges in the country
to adopt a four-year curriculum. In 1945,
the Indianapolis College of Pharmacy affiliated
with Butler University. With the completion of
a new pharmacy building in 1951, the college
moved to the Butler campus. It celebrated the
centennial of its founding in 2004.
In 1994, the College of Pharmacy and
Health Sciences collaborated with Methodist
Hospital to develop a physician assistant (PA)
Butler University
program. Today, the PA program is operated
solely by Butler University, which administers
all aspects of didactic training on Butler
University’s campus. Students now complete
a three-year professional phase of training in
classes of about 50 students each. Graduates
are awarded a Master of Physician Assistant
Studies degree.
Accreditation
The Butler University College of Pharmacy
and Health Sciences is a member of the American
Association of Colleges of Pharmacy and
the Physician Assistant Education Association.
The Pharmacy program is accredited by the
Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education
(ACPE) and the physician assistant program
is accredited by the Accreditation Review
Commission on Education for the Physician
Assistant (ARC-PA).
Licensure and Experience
Requirements
To become a licensed pharmacist in Indiana,
a person must obtain a passing grade on the
North American Pharmacy Licensure Examination
(NAPLEX) or, with Pharmacy Board approval,
reciprocate an existing license that was
obtained through examination in another state.
To qualify for the NAPLEX examination, a person
must be a graduate of an ACPE-accredited
college of Pharmacy, at least 18 years of age,
and of good moral character. Persons convicted
of a felony may not be eligible for licensure in
Indiana. In order to participate in the experiential
portion of the curriculum, students are
required to submit the results of a background
check for felony and/or misdemeanor convictions
conducted by an independent agency.
Students may be restricted from participating
at certain experiential sites as a result of this
information.
To become licensed as a physician assistant
in the state of Indiana, a person must have successfully
completed an accredited educational
program for physician assistants and must have
passed the Physician Assistant National Certifying
Examination (PANCE). Temporary certification
may be granted to an individual who has
graduated from an accredited program but has
not yet taken the certifying examination, or is
awaiting the results of the examination.
