Jaron’s Answer

Katia,


Biochemistry is one of the essential areas in pharmacology, so if you can't find a pharmacology program, it would be strong foundation for pursuing graduate studies in pharmacology.


If you are still looking for schools to attend for undergrad, UC Santa Barbara has an B.S. in Pharmacology program and a accelerated, 5-year bachelor's/master's program in Pharmacology and Biotechnology: https://undergrad.biology.ucsb.edu/majors/pharmacology.
Thank you comment icon Thank you so much for your answer! I'm a sophomore in high school, so I do still have time to find a pharmacology program, but I will definitely use your advice. Katia

Bhairavi’s Answer

Chemistry and Biochemistry are essential courses in order to become an MD or a pharmacist! Most major universities will have classes for both. Additionally, you must have prerequisites to be able to apply to pharmacy college. Pick some colleges in your area and find out what they require before taking on too many classes! This way you will tailor your education to your dream degree. Good Luck!!
