History

On June 12, 1881, Albany College of Pharmacy was founded as the nation's 14th pharmacy program. Dr. E.N. Potter, then President of Union College as well as Union University, approved the formation of the College at Union University's annual board meeting. Along with Albany Medical College, Albany Law School, the Dudley Observatory, and Union College, ACPHS remains one of the constituent entities of Union University, though like each member, it has its own Board of Trustees, is fiscally independent, and is responsible for its own programs.

Campuses

Albany Campus

The ACPHS Albany Campus is located at 106 New Scotland Avenue in the University Heights section of Albany, a higher education and health care cluster that includes Albany Law School, Albany Medical College, and Sage College of Albany, as well as Albany Medical Center, St. Peter's Hospital, and the Albany Stratton VA Medical Center.

The Albany campus is composed of eight buildings:

The ACPHS Vermont Campus was located at 261 Mountain View Drive in Colchester. The Vermont Campus offered the professional pharmacy program and a two-year master's degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences. The campus was shut down in June 2021 due to decline in enrollment. [3]

Athletics

The ACPHS athletic teams are called the Panthers. The college is a member of the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA), primarily competing in the Yankee Small College Conference (YSCC) since the 2020–21 academic year. The Panthers previously competed as a founding member of the Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (HVIAC) from 2004–05 to 2018–19; as well as an USCAA Independent during the 2019–20 school year. ACPHS competes in eight intercollegiate varsity sports (all on the Albany Campus): Sports include basketball, cross country, soccer, track & field, while club sports include golf, hockey, lacrosse and tennis.

The women's basketball team won the school's only national championship in 2013 when it defeated Berkeley College 60-54 to win the USCAA Division II National Championship. The ACPHS track and field was renovated in 2012 at a cost of $2.5 million. [4]
