Hi! If you are looking into biology, you may want to look at other options for prep transfer classes. Biology is part of most pharmacy tech programs, however usually just basic biology. You are more likely to be learning brand/generic medication distinctions, basic pharmacy math, drug-drug interactions, and pharmacy billing and coding in pharmacy tech prep classes. While you may find all of this informative and interesting, it may not give you very much biology specific information.
Oh, thank you for the insight.
