Toni’s Answer

Hi Davis,
All the math and science classes you can do in high school will help you prepare for pharmacy school. A pharmacist will take several courses requiring high level math and science classes throughout pharmacy school. You would do well to get a great foundation for this. Best of luck to you.

Melody’s Answer

Generally speaking Davis,

You want to take your school's highest level of math and chemistry. This will help you prepare for the rigorous demand in both these areas as you go through the pharmacy program at college. Pharmacy is a field that requires extensive knowledge of science and math. Some other main prerequisite courses include chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, and statistics. The specific courses needed vary from school to school. It is best to speak with a guidance counselor at your school to see what is offered at your school as well as if there are classes offered through other places that would help you in your pursuit of a pharmacy degree.

Best wishes in your pursuits.
Thank you comment icon Thank you for taking the time. do you think calculus is necessary ? Davis
Thank you comment icon Yes I would take calculus also if at all possible. Heather Eades Pharm.D, BCGP

Biology, math, chemistry, and physics are all pre-requisites for pharmacy school. Try to take as many AP classes as possible to get ahead.
