Pre-Pharmacy Advising Track

The curriculum provides the first two years of college education for students seeking admission to a school of pharmacy.

Students should consult with an advisor at the college or university they plan to attend for the specific courses recommended by that institution. We strongly encourage you to contact the Pensacola State College Natural Sciences Department for assistance in planning your program of study.

Individual course requirements at specific institutions may sometimes differ from the published Common Course Prerequisite Manual. PSC recommends students see an academic advisor as well as contact their transfer institution to confirm program requirements.

Total Credit Hours: 60

Note: Pharmacy schools generally require General Physics before admission to the school. A student who plans to apply to pharmacy school after the sophomore year should consider adding eight credit hours of Physics to the suggested curriculum.

Transfer students will be fully accepted into the UF Pharm D Program without completing the Pre-Anatomy and Physiology and communication courses (assuming they meet all the other admissions requirements), but they will be advised to complete the Anatomy and Physiology courses at UF (if not already completed at the community college) in Summer A and B prior to starting the Pharm D Program in the fall.
