91³Ô¹ÏÍø

Prepharmacy

91³Ô¹ÏÍø has a strong tradition of preparing students for pharmacy school. Each year a significant number of students admitted to pharmacy school have completed their pre-pharmacy studies at 91³Ô¹ÏÍø.

  • Prepharm adviser: Patrick Desrochers (Professor of Chemistry, Manion 303B, (501) 450-5936 or Catherine Lyons (Academic Advising, Lewis Science Center 138, (501) 450-5197)
  • Current pharmacy information in the 91³Ô¹ÏÍø undergraduate bulletin
  • online resource to evaluate career options with a degree in pharmacy
  • Arkansas has two pharmacy schools, with comparable but slightly different requirements.
    • UAMS College of Pharmacy requirements (91³Ô¹ÏÍø course numbers)
    • Harding Univ. College of Pharmacy
  • Degree or no-degree heading to pharmacy school.
    Both approaches work.  Over the past 4 years, about 70% of admitted students have an earned 4-year degree; about 30% enter with only their pre-pharm prereqs completed.  Increasingly, pre-pharm requirements are less and less geared toward a 4-y degree.  It is always advisable to be working toward a 4-year, because life goals change as you progress to and through pharmacy.  We find it challenging for students who left 91³Ô¹ÏÍø for pharmacy with no degree in hand to come back and finish given the demands of time and money.
    Students may earn a degree from 91³Ô¹ÏÍø based on a combination of 91³Ô¹ÏÍø credit and coursework from pharmacy school.  This is detailed in the 91³Ô¹ÏÍø Board Policy No. 338 (Revised Dec 2012).
