Download Suggested Plan of Study
The first two years of this sequence serves well for students wishing to do pre-pharmacy at ISU, then 4 years at a Pharmacy School. The only suggested changes are to take BSC 181 during the second year and to replace BSC 203 (Cell Biology), MAT 14 (Calculus II) and CHE 215 (Analytical Chemistry) with General Education electives. However, some pharmacy schools prefer that students complete a B.S. degree, like the BMB B.S. degree. It is important to consult the catalogs and the admission office of schools which a student may select to obtain more complete information.
