What major should I choose?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I want to be a pharmaceutical researcher. When I went on college websites to check some majors out, there were several majors dealing with pharmacy. Those include pharmacy (PhD), pharmaceutical chemistry (BS), pharmacology (BS), and so on. How can I know what to choose as my major if they are almost all the same? </p>

<p>In addition, I have a list of colleges that offer Doctor of Pharmacy program, if it happens that I will choose that road. I need to narrow down my list. My list includes…</p>

<li>Long Island University</li>
<li>Northeastern University</li>
<li>SUNY Buffalo</li>
<li>St. John’s University</li>
<li>Rutgers</li>
<li>Albany College of Pharmacy</li>
<li>Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences</li>
<li>University of the Sciences at Philadelphia</li>
</ol>

<p>Can someone help me rank the Doctor of Pharmacy programs in these schools or give a testimony? Is there a core curriculum for any of these schools? </p>

<p>I want to thank everyone who responds to this thread. =)</p>

<p>This sounds like the kind of question you should take to the colleges themselves. Get acquainted with their programs by reading the requirements for a degree, and the options for other related courses. You may want to make a chart as they will get confusing after a while. Keep a list of questions, and send them directly to the department secretary.</p>
