Pre-Pharmacy
Students intending to apply to a graduate pharmacy program would be best prepared by completing a Biochemistry B.S., Biology B.S., or Chemistry B.A.
Concordia University St. Paul's 3+4 partnership with Concordia University Wisconsin allows eligible students to complete their Biology B.S. or Chemistry B.A. and a doctor of pharmacy in seven years. Students will spend their first three years at Concordia, St. Paul, and the final four years at Concordia, Wisconsin.
