USI's Biochemistry, Biology, and Chemistry majors offer excellent preparation for Pharmacy studies.
Pharmacy is an exciting career with a wide variety of opportunities from retail to research to hospital settings. Pre-Pharmacy students need a strong foundation in science and math and often seek a Bachelor's degree in biology, chemistry, or biochemistry.
Pharmacy schools can have a wide range of requirements for application. USI Pre-Pharmacy advisors work with students to identify their specific needs for their programs of interest.
We offer unique and expedited opportunities at Manchester University and Sullivan University through our Pathway Partnerships. Our students also often move on to Pharmacy Schools in Indiana such as Purdue University and Butler University.
