What do I need to major in if I want to be a pharmacist?

For the sake of saving money, I want to go to my local community college for the first two years and then transfer to a four-year institution. However, my community college doesn't offer a pharmaceutical science major. I am considering going to an out-of-state community college but it'd just waste more money in the long run. Are there any majors that can be considered the equivalent of a pharmaceutical science major? #college-major #college #major #education

Bill’s Answer

Chemistry and/or biology.  Most of pharmacology studies are learned in graduate school, anyway.  Most pharmacology schools mostly care about a related undergraduate degree.  If you're going to a 2 year program, then moving to another school for the 4 year degree before applying to pharmacy school, it doesn't matter a whole lot what that is in, as long as it is related.  Take chemistry and biology classes.

You have to take the pre-pharm courses in bio, chem, material science, math, and English. Your school scholarly guide can give you explicit course numbers.
