Monday, May 14, 2007
For career in Pharmacy, one must pursue wiht science and math subjects at their High School levels. Science classes are good preparation for the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree curriculum. Courses in biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics are especially desirable.
Chemistry is the most common major for pharmacy applicants because the course prerequisites for pharmacy are incorporated into the standard chemistry curriculum. Pharmacy students, however; come from a wide variety of educational backgrounds.
The Pharm.D. degree program requires at least 2-years of specific pre-professional (undergraduate) coursework followed by 3 years of professional study. Pharmacy colleges and schools may accept students directly from high school for both the pre-pharmacy and pharmacy curriculum, or after completion of the college course prerequisites.
