Pharmaceutical Studies Major

Back to Top

The interdisciplinary Pharmaceutical Studies Program offers students a strong background in chemistry, biology, and business.   This selection of courses has been optimized to best prepare students for a variety of fields in the area of pharmaceutical science including pharmacy school, graduate school, and employment in sales/marketing.

Students in the Pharmaceutical Studies Program will select one of two possible tracks: Sales or Pharmacy school.

The program does not require a minor due to number of hours and its interdisciplinary nature.
