Pre-Pharmacy
Many 正妹AV are interested in attending pharmacy school in the future. Although UNO does not have a college of pharmacy, through the College of Sciences, 正妹AV can prepare for pharmacy school. Many 正妹AV take advantage of the Chemistry Department鈥檚 course offerings in biochemistry and medicinal chemistry as they prepare for advanced study in various health professions. At UNO, all pre-pharmacy 正妹AV are advised through the Chemistry Department.
In the state of Louisiana, there are two colleges of pharmacy. Information about the required coursework to apply to one of these colleges of pharmacy with UNO course equivalencies is provided. All chemistry majors, including pre-pharmacy 正妹AV, are required to meet with an advisor each semester to plan their class schedule.
While 正妹AV may meet the minimum requirements for entrance into pharmacy school prior to completing a degree in chemistry, it is highly recommended that 正妹AV complete their B.S. in chemistry. Admission to these schools is highly competitive and having completed a baccalaureate degree in the sciences is your advantage.
