Consider Majoring in Pharmaceutical Sciences

Even though you can be in any major while a Pre-Pharmacy Student, most choose Pharmaceutical Sciences since the same person will serve as both your Primary Academic Advisor and Pre-Pharmacy Advisor. If majoring in something else, you will need to be cleared for course registration each semester by your program’s Academic Advisor.
