| Well, I'm not really up on admissions, but I think the reasons we are seeing more degreed pharmacy students include:
1. It takes people several tries to gain admission and they get a bachelors degree by default.
2. People who have a degree and are unable to translate that into meaningful employment turn to pharmacy as a practical career.
It may vary by region, but in my neck of the woods, having a prior degree doesn't help with employment. (I don't know if it affects admissions, but most students here don't have prior degrees). As long as you have your license to hang on the wall, you are good to go. |
