What college classes do I need to take to become a licensed pharmacist?
I know that you need to take biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics along with getting a PharmD but I was wondering what other classes are required.

I hope this helps & good luck on your journey!

I believe the best way to have a clear idea is to visit any pharmacy school website and take a look at the academics and requirements. I myself went to a foreign pharmacy school that’s why I can’t give you a specific answer about schools in the states.
Thank you for the advice.
