I am currently enrolled at a community college and planning on to transfer to a 4 year university. According to my ed. plan, by the time i get to transfer to a university, i will be done with all my OChem 1,2 , Molecular Biology 1 &2, A&P and etc. I just wonder what kind of classes will i have to take at the university when it seems like i have already finished with all of my pre-req classes😕. Any help will be greatly appreciated.


ps: I am a biochem major.

Hmm, have you never heard of electives?
 
Well assuming you are a biochemistry major, you will have to complete the biochemistry upper division coursework (assuming you want to complete the four-year degree). I would definitely contact the biochemistry department student advisor of that four-year institution so that you can figure out how you have to plan it out. Biochemistry tends to be one of the tougher majors out there, so I can tell you, you're going to have your hands full =P Those classes aren't easy, and you'll be studying a lot.

Now, if you are sure you want to go to pharmacy school and you don't really need that 4-year degree, then you don't really need to apply to the 4-year institution for a transfer if you apply with your CC coursework (assumign you have a very solid GPA and the rest of your application is good). You can get into pharmacy school with just CC credits (it's been done before on the forums somewhere).
