As the tittle suggest, I was just wondering if you can use computer science as a social science prerequisite for pharmacy school application?

Can computer science classes be considered social science?

Social science is the study of human behavior, which is not at all related to computer science. On the pharmcas application (if that is what you are referring to), there is a section for computer science that is a different category than social science (https://portal.pharmcas.org/applicants2013/instruction/pcas_subjects.htm).
I was wondering this because when I look under the prerequisite section of some schools, they list computer under social science
ex: University of Maryland http://www.pharmacy.umaryland.edu/admissions/pharmd/prereqs.html in the FAQ section.
Social and science are 2 words that shouldn't go together.
Why not? Are you familiar with the etymology of the word "science"? Kind of a myopic perspective if you ask me.
So I guess no one can find the answer to this question 😕. Maybe I should just go ahead and take some classes this summer to meet the prerequisites...🙁
Depends on the class, itself, I'd say. "Advanced coding," probably not. "Computers and society," why not?
The answer to your question is that it depends. The school you linked to seems to allow it. Others may not. You need to investigate other schools you are interested in. None of us know the answer for every college of pharmacy in the country.
I agree. Programming, no. Computers and Society, yes.
Thanks, It's time for mass email !!😀 😎
