The Pre-Pharmacy program consists of 2 years of courses. Once admitted to the regular program, students spend an additional three years as full time students within the School of Pharmacy for a Baccalaureate degree or 6 years for a Pharmacy Doctorate degree. By the year 2000, you will need a Pharmacy Doctorate. Anatomy and Physiology will be incorporated into the first professional year of the program, and should not be taken at N.M.C. Microbiology and statistics will be added to the prepharm. This is a limited enrollment program and current GPA requirement is much higher.
Admission is very competitive.
Grades in Chemistry, Biology and Math must be 2.0 or better. Application Deadline - January 31. Students receive this application from FSU after having submitted their initial application. January test is recommended for students in the second semester of sophomore year. The October test is also acceptable, but the March test is too late for the fall admit class.
