| Historical Abstract: | In 1927, Constantine Meriano founded the Meriano School of Pharmacy in Boston. The institution was officially incorporated in 1940 as the Boston School of Pharmacy. In 1941, the Board of Trustees initiated a four-year curriculum, and in 1943 the Massachusetts Legislature authorized the Trustees to grant the degree of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy. Students enrolled in a rigorous academic program that included course work in anatomy, biology, chemistry, pharmacy, physics, business, law, and English. On January 25, 1949, the Board of Collegiate Authority approved a second name change to the New England College of Pharmacy (NECP). The New England College of Pharmacy was accredited by the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education with a Class "C" ranking in 1952, a Class "B" accreditation in 1957, and a Class "A" accreditation ranking in 1958. In 1960 the New England College of Pharmacy commenced merger negotiations with Northeastern University. In September 1962 the New England College of Pharmacy relinquished its status as an independent educational institution and formed the basis of the Northeastern University College of Pharmacy. |
