Notes
Tennessee's first CAA program, housed in the College of Pharmacy. First cohort began August 2026 (applications handled directly, outside CASAA). The program page lists the next cohort as January 2028, with CASAA anticipated for that cycle but open/deadline dates TBD; hence casaa_deadline null. NOT on the CASAA 2026-27 participating list. Prereqs require grades of B or higher. Accreditation: SACSCOC approved; the program page says it is seeking CAAHEP/ARC-AA accreditation. The reported CAAHEP Letter of Review could not be confirmed on Lipscomb's own pages. Tuition figures are 'anticipated,' not final.
