Pre-Pharmacy Concentration

Students who don't wish to enter pharmacy school can consult with their advisor for alternate career paths.

Get Accepted to Pharmacy School

Being accepted to pharmacy school doesn't come easily. It requires effort, time and careful preparation. To ensure success for our students Ferris offers a helping hand into pharmacy school. To help students make the best choices for their professional goals, advisors from the Ferris Pre-Pharmacy advisory committee work closely with students throughout their four years of study. They help with course selection and development of social, personal and professional maturity. They also work with students to match abilities with interests to find the student's most appropriate health-related career path. Furthermore, the low student-faculty ratio at Ferris means that most basic science labs are taught by the science professors themselves.
