<p>Getting into a good pharmacy program is very competitive. I would guess pharmacy is as tough as most engineering curriculums, but focused more on the life sciences. Prerequisites include-- anatomy (4 hrs), physiology (4 hrs), general biology (8), microbiology (4), general chem (8), organic chem (8), and physics (4). I think my niece was often taking three science courses a semester. </p>
<p>I recommend that you do more research into what a career in pharmacy involves and perhaps do an informational interview of a pharmacist. It’s not all filling pill bottles. (The techs do that.) I will say my niece does find her work very fulfilling and feels that she is making a difference in people’s lives. (I am not sure my engineer husband would say that about the years he worked in industry.)</p>
