Hi there!

I got bachelor degree on 2003 in South Korea but my major was Advertising and Public Relations. I finished the ESL course this summer and I'm going to start pre-pharmacy classes in CC.

According to the 3rd page of "2009-10 Summary of Pre-professional Course Requirements by Pharmacy Degree Institution" file, there is a explanation, "* Students with a baccalaureate degree prior to enrolling in the School of Pharmacy must complete the math and science prereqs only."

Here is the file.

So is that mean I don't need to take the classes of humanity such as English, economy, and psychology etc? Can I just finish the yellow parts on the filefor the pre-pharm course before I apply?

I already make a plan of my pre-pharm classes but I noticed that a few minuets ago. If it's true I need to adjust my schedule.



(add) Thank you guys! I'm gonna call the schools to make it sure.

Call the schools you want to apply to. We can only give you our opinions, but the schools will tell you exactly what they want you to do.

as the other poster has mentioned, please contact the school you wish to apply. each school has a different set of pre-req's.

I'm in the same "boat", I called a few schools i'm interested and they told me what was required. One common key course I was missing from my '01 BS degrees was Public Speaking.

you may also need to take TOEFL for some schools

also, if you haven't checked this yet: some schools require that you prove US residency:

"students with a baccalaureate degree prior to enrolling must complete science and math prereqs only" i know i've read this before, for example in the last PDF document on this page http://www.aacp.org/resources/student/pharmacyforyou/admissions/Pages/PSAR.aspx

yet i keep hearing that public speaking will be required. 😕

that statement is in the key at the bottom of the document.

You do need to take anything you didn't take in your BA. Also, you need to make sure the schools you're applying to will accept your credits from that international program. They probably will, but it would be terrible to do all of your science and math and then find out that your literature class doesn't transfer.
