The courses listed below are required before starting the PharmD program, and can be completed with a minimum of two years of college-level study. Many students choose to complete them over three or more years of undergraduate study. Candidates will be allowed to take only one Math/Science prerequisite and one General Education Elective the summer before starting the program in the fall. After admission to the PharmD program students complete four years of professional study in the College of Pharmacy. All courses must be completed with a minimum C- grade.
