Pharmacy School Requirements

Hi everyone

I am a canadian student planning to apply to a US pharmacy school for my Pharm D or BSc in PHM

Unfortunately I didn't take an university level English course and it seems like all the schools need it. Where could I find schools that do not require English as a pre-req, are there even any schools that don't need it?

I'd also really appreciate any advice on applying as a Canadian student.

Thanks

Hi nonzerosum.
You can find a list of schools at the PharmCAS website. Just click on any of the school names and it'll tell you the current requirements for their program.

I'm pretty sure english is a requirement for all pharmacy schools in the U.S. Just move down here, take the english req at a CC and apply.

Couldn't you just shop around for an online course at a community college?

Otherwise, your best bet is indeed looking at that table and figuring out who you're compatible with.

I don't think you will find a school that does not have an english prereq. Do you have a work visa? You may need one to finish internship hours if your school requires more than are in the curriculum as rotations and IPPEs - which most do.
