I am confused with the path of becoming a pharmacist. I am now studying in community college major in bio-chemistry, and plan to apply for university this year major in bio-chemistry. However, can I apply for pre-pharmacy while i don't have a BS degree?

Also, is it possible to apply other universities major in pre-pharmacy that are in other countries such as Australis? Can someone give me some guidance what to do next? Thank You!​

I assume that you are an international student due to the australia comment. I am not sure of all the requirements that must be met for those students.

In the US, pre-pharmacy is not really a degree, it is just a set of general courses typically required for entry into pharmacy school. If you are majoring in Bio-chem, then you will meet pretty much all basic requirements. Some schools look for Anatomy and Physiology, which Bio-chem will not need.

Your best bet would be to select the schools you would want to attend. From here you can find the requirements for those schools on their websites, as each school can differ in their requirements. If you have specific questions then I would suggest contacting the school itself to be sure what is required of you to get in.
