Announced to the public on January 11, 2010, the school planned to open on Big Sandy Community and Technical College's Mayo Campus in the fall of 2011.
[3] Dr. William B. Drake Jr., former president of Midway College, was expecting an enrollment of 320 when fully operational.
[5] It was projected that the school would generate more than $30 million in economic activity annually in Paintsville and Johnson County.
[2] After failing the second site visit for accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), rather than attempting to address issues noted by the ACPE and seeking a third (and final) site visit, the Board of Directors at Midway College terminated all faculty and staff and attempted to transfer the property to the University of Charleston, which already operated an accredited pharmacy school.
[6] The transfer did not occur because during due diligence, they found that the projected number of students was not realistic.
