The prepharmacy program prepares students for admission to an accredited pharmacy school. After completing the prepharmacy curriculum at SOU, students transfer to a professional pharmacy school and begin at least three years of professional studies. Students may prepare for advanced degrees or for careers in retail, clinical, hospital, industrial, or administrative pharmacy.
