 Footnotes:

  1. Students would have all pharmacy prerequisites at the end of the third year so it is possible to apply to pharmacy school at that time.
  2. The BSC 110 and 111 courses do not have to be taken in this order.
  3. The initial math course for freshmen is determined by criteria set by the math department. Students will need to have at least a 24 on the math ACT subscore to begin in trigonometry or precalculus (MAT 128) and a 26 on the math ACT subscore to begin in calculus.
  4. CHE 311L and 421L are two credit hour classes.
  5. The BOLD italics courses above do not have prerequisites and so can be swapped in the sequence.
  6. Students wishing to apply to the Auburn pharmacy school will need to take an additional English literature course.
  7. Students wishing to apply to the Samford pharmacy school will need to take an additional anatomy/physiology course such as comparative anatomy (BSC 361). Samford also requires mathematical statistics rather than the PSY 360 statistics.
  8. Students should be familiar with the prepharmacy information on the College of Science and Technology website.
