<p>I've been talking to alot of people about their career choices, and I have to say, pharmacy is very appealing. Dentistry not so much, but still in consideration. </p>
<p>Are the requirements for these exactly the same? Mostly the same? I had been told exactly the same, but I find that hard to believe.</p>
<p>They generally have the same core classes, dental and pharmacy sometimes have additions here and there.
You’re pretty much going to need these no matter what:
2 semesters gen chem + lab
2 semesters ochem + lab
2 semesters bio + lab
2 semesters physics + lab
2 semesters english/literature/composition
calculus/statistics (depends on the school)</p>
<p>You have to check with the individual schools to see what they require. The Texas medical schools are an example, they require 4 semesters of biology. Another addition one you may see is a biochemistry requirement.</p>
<p>For example, my school’s pharmacy school requires 1 semester of
Microbiology w/lab
Mammalian Physiology w/lab<br>
Molecular or Cell Biology<br>
Biochemistry<br>
Psychology or Sociology<br>
Micro-economics</p>
<p>War Chant is right, they are not exactly the same but all will require the courses he lists. This link will get you to the general and specific requirements/admissions standards of every pharmacy school in the country:
