BA/BS in Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Administration

Pharmaceutical Science is a bachelor's major for students aiming at a pharmacy career. It works as a dual-degree route: a student earns the bachelor's and the Doctor of Pharmacy at Concordia in seven years, one fewer than the usual path. During the early undergraduate years, students finish the prerequisites for pharmacy school and a large share of the major. Once admitted to the doctoral program, its opening year completes the remaining requirements for the bachelor's degree, and the following three years lead to the doctorate. Preparation emphasizes mathematics and the basic sciences, including biochemistry and the effects of disease, plus access to a hands-on lab. The major carries a STEM designation. High school seniors may also use an Early Assurance pathway into the doctoral program. Careers include pharmaceutical researcher, scientist and sales representative.
