It is the same as a B.S. in Chem/Biochem but replaces sum UD chem electives with a course in pharmacology and covers the pre-reqs for med/pharm d. school (1 year of general bio). Well that is what i get when i compare the two curriculum.

UCSD | Department of Chemistry&Biochemistry -- Administration

You will need a graduate degree to pursue a career in the pharmaceutical field. I would pursue any related degree as undergrad that will prepare you for graduate school like bio/biochem/chem/chem engineering. Pharmacological chemistry is fine to pursue for undergraduate (Covers most of the pre-reqs too). For grad school I would look into pharmacology, pharmaceutical sciences or PhD in pharmacy (different from doc of pharmacy) if you interested in a career in pharmaceutical research.
