Notes
The Pre-Pharmacy pathway is designed to prepare students for entrance into Pharmacy school. Although some Pharmacy schools do not require a Baccalaureate (B.A./B.S.) degree for admission, it is highly recommended that students plan to complete a Bachelor’s degree prior to matriculation. Additionally, the coursework prepares students for the Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT), which is an admission requirement for many Pharmacy schools. Students are strongly encouraged to work closely with their Advisor when selecting appropriate coursework.
