Help with Pharmacy Major

[Jyxl41]

<p>I live in New Jersey, and I'm a Senior. So obviously Rutgers is one of my top choices.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>What other majors do you think are suitable?</p>

<br>

@""

<p>I like Chemistry and Biology, but not as much as I do mathematics. I'm honestly not that into the sciences, but I do like the Pharmacy-related aspects of it, if that makes sense.</p>

<br></li>
<li><p>Other than Rutgers Pharmacy, what other schools are good for Pharmacy (Originally, I didn't want to leave New Jersey, but Rutgers is the only option, so I have expanded to New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Connecticutt. Looking for somewhat cheap schools or at least one with financial aid possible.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Please give me suggestions for Pharmacy schools in this area!!</p>

<p>I know a decent amount about the field, and that Rutgers offers PharmD., which I am VERY interested in. If you can give me some decent PharmD schools, that would be great. I did research on my own, so I'm not expecting only other posters to help me out. I only saw like 3 or 4 other schools I was interested in that had PharmD. Can I also get a Bachelor's? However, the thing is I want to get a PharmD in the end.. so what do I do? Go for 4 years to one college and then transfer? If this is the case, give me some other options too.</p>

<br>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Pharmacy schools are graduate schools (i.e. require a bachelor’s degree). Get a bachelor’s, complete pre-pharmacy prerequisites, then apply to pharmacy school. In that order. Some colleges offer accelerated (usually 7-year) programs that award bachelor’s and Pharm.D. degrees, but they’re really selective.
Pharmacy is deeply rooted in biology and chemistry. If you don’t like the sciences, you won’t like pharmacy. You might just like the idea of being a pharmacist.</p>
