Bachelor in Pharmacy

A Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences (BSPS) is a four-year program designed for students interested in going on to a Doctor of Pharmacy program, as well as for students who want to work in the drug or health care industries. Applicants should have a background in science, although most programs are open to all students with a high school diploma. Some schools require students to complete an internship or clinical rotations before graduating. Such programs are science-intensive with a focus on chemistry and biology. Though some bachelor's degree programs in pharmaceutical sciences delve into advanced pharmacy topics, most include a strong core of basic sciences.
