<p>You can major in anything you want, but if you want to major in a science, then bio, chem, biochem, or other bio majors will do.</p>

<p>Stony Brook doesn't offer a PharmD but you could take your prerequisites there and apply to pharmacy schools after 2-4 years. Buffalo is the only SUNY with a PharmD program, although you can do your prerequistes there or at any other school. Check on the requirements for PharmD though - they seem to vary alot between schools! The other NY schools with PharmD programs are Albany College of Pharmacy (2+4), St. John's Univ (0-6), LIU (2+4), St John Fisher (2+4), and, I believe, Touro (PharmD only).</p>

<p>St. John's offers a six year program, it's a great deal but its very competitive.
The program is really good, its not ranked that high but it's a great program. Dont be afraid from the tuition, st. john's gives out serious money.</p>

<p>i just rejected from St John's University for Pharm D, (sigh)</p>

<p>You don't need a degree to go to pharmacy school, let alone a major. You could take your prereqs at a community college and transfer so it would be cheaper. Check out a few pharmacy schools to find out what their requirements are.</p>

<p>Dear mike,
Sorry. You have other options. What do you plan? Pharmacy is outrageously competitive, especially the ones that guarantee admission to incoming freshman. Good luck.

<p>As others have mentioned, there is no need to declare a major. </p>

<p>Degrees are not a requirement for pharmacy schools, as long as you take the required prerequisites (hopefully ace them) and and also do well on the pharmacy college admissions test you have a good shot of getting into programs.</p>

<p>ULM has a good pharmacy school.</p>
