What would I study for a BS in Pharmaceutical Sciences at the College of Pharmacy? How can I apply?
Multidisciplinary by design, Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences students take classes in the foundations of pharmacy such as the sciences of medicines, biopharmaceutics, and biology of drug delivery, as well as core courses in chemistry, mathematics, and biology. The breadth of these classes prepares students for careers in the healthcare industry or research.
An undergraduate degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences can lead to a wide array of options, including:
- Careers in Healthcare Companies and the Pharmaceutical Industry
- PhD and Masters Programs
- Professional Programs such as medical, dental, and pharmacy school
- Fast Track to PharmD. Gain admission to the U-M College of Pharmacy's Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program a year early while completing your Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Sciences—saving you time and money.
First-year students and students transferring from another college or university are invited to apply to the BSPS degree program using the Common Application. Current U-M students should apply using the Cross-Campus Transfer Application. The College of Pharmacy only accepts students for fall term entry.
First-year students may also apply to the College of Pharmacy's Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) Preferred Admission program by submitting the Common Application as a first-year applicant to the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA). Please note that Preferred Admission is a conditional assurance of admission into the PharmD program, and that upon admission to the Preferred Admission program, LSA students have up to four years to fulfill Preferred Admission program entry requirements.
