The first place to research pharmacy schools is to go to The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP). You will want to navigate to AACP > Resources > Student Center > Is Pharmacy for You > Admissions > Compare U.S. Pharmacy Programs (www.aacp.org) and select "no" under the "PCAT Required for Admission" category. As of June 21, 2010, the search yields 32 results.

From the list of programs gleaned from The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, your next step should be to check the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) at www.acpe-accredit.org. Here you will find if the institution is accredited or has pending accreditation, and how long the program has been accredited.

The Pharmacy College Application Service site provides a list of pharmacy programs and a column for PCAT and whether the school requires it or not. It is in alphabetical order, but is limited to schools that use their service. The list is extensive and The Pharmacy College Application Service can be a handy tool in the application process, so is worth checking out as a possible organizing tool.
