Requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences
The 麻豆直播 School of Pharmacy offers a Bachelor of Science degree in
Pharmaceutical Sciences independent of the Doctor of Pharmacy degree to students interested
in pharmaceutical research. The B.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences is open to 铿乺st-year
students or easily allows for transfer from the Pharm.D. program during the junior
year. Students in the Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences program choose
a concentration from four different disciplines:
- Medicinal Chemistry
- Pharmacology
- Pharmaceutics
- Pharmacy Administration
The Bachelor of Science degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences does not meet the educational
requirements for licensure as a pharmacist and eligibility for NAPLEX/MPJE.
