Preparing for Admission to Pharmacy School
The following recommendations are for students desiring to enter pharmacy as a profession. Currently, the entry degree for pharmacists is the doctor of pharmacy (PharmD).
As a pre-pharmacy student, you must have a sound background in math and science, which can be accomplished by majoring in 生物学, 化学, 或生物化学. However, a science major is not required.
Good communication skills are important, as is a broad general education in the social sciences and humanities. The Pre-Pharmacy Program required by schools of pharmacy is a minimum of two years, but a minimum of three years is highly recommended. The most competitive candidates earn a bachelor’s degree prior to matriculation at a pharmacy graduate program.
Below is a list of courses required by many pharmacy schools. You should check the individual school for specific requirements and also check with the 产后大出血 coordinator. Applications to pharmacy schools begin with a 主要应用程序，在PharmCAS有售.
