<p>Hi I will be beginning as a freshman in the fall an have already completed summer b. My goal is to get into pharmacy school and become a pharmacist. I had several questions:</p>
<p>is biology pre-prof a good major for pharmacy?
I am currently signed up for chem 2040/2041 should I switch to chem 2045 because I was wondering if pharmacy schools accept the split chem as a replacement?</p>
<p>You could do that or do the Heath Science Major: Pre clinical Allied Health tract. The catalog states that this major is “The Health Sciences-Pre-Clinical Track is a preparatory program
for graduate level clinical disciplines for the student who wishes
to seek admission to graduate level clinical programs in physical
therapy, occupational therapy, pharmacy, physician assistant, and medicine.”</p>
<p>Check it out on page 181 of the new catalog</p>

<p>In this major you will need to take CHM 2045C, CHM 2046L, CHM2205 (a 5 credit organic/biochm) OR 2 semesters of organic chem, Bio 2010C, Microbiology, 2 semesters of Physics etc. </p>
<p>All the science majors (biology, chemistry, health science) except for nursing require you to take CHM 2045 NOT 2040 so I would def. switch right away.</p>
<p>Question: Isn’t the chemistry class you take determined by how you do on the Chem Placement test??</p>
<p>Yep, the chem class you can take is determined by the placement test. CHM2040 and CHM2041 is just CHM2045, except split up to cover two semesters instead of one.</p>
