FourOaks Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 If one had the slightest interest in going to pharmacy school, what would be the very best courses for high school. I realize that very good scores on the SAT/ACT and other tests would be needed, of course, but as far as math and science go. . .what types would one need? Also, are all pharmacy programs 0-6 years -- meaning you must declare and enter as a known pharmacy track, or are there other options? Can you have an associates and get credit for that, then go another 4 years? Or can you have even more than that -- maybe even closer to a Bachelors and then enter pharmacy school for 2 or more years? I am very confused how that all works and the university that I've looked into makes it appear the only option is 0-6 all the way through. Thanks for any help.

K-FL Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) I just checked w/Palm Beach Atlantic in FL (dd#1's alma mater). You can transfer in, but not directly into the Pharmacy School, so probably if you're still doing your pre-reqs (below) you can transfer in. (??) Here's their pre-reqs for the pharmacy school: Course credit hrs comments English 6 1 course (2-3 credit hrs) must be English composition Economics 3 Micro or Macro Economics are recommended Elem. Statistics 3 Calculus 3-4 Gen. Chemistry I & II w/ Lab 8 Organic Chemistry I & II w/ Lab 8 General Biology I & II with Labs 8 Human Anatomy & Physiology I & II w/Labs 8 Microbiology with Lab 4 Biochemistry 3 Speech 3 Humanities 9 Edited August 4, 2011 by K-FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
