I’m from Australia so evidently my knowledge in the reputation and strength of US universities is basically lacking. I’m looking at applying to pharmacy and I understand this is a graduate degree in most US colleges. What undergrad prerequisites are needed? I’m assuming a Science degree would be preferable? If I go straight into one of the 6-year pharmacy schools straight out of high school, would this be looked down upon in the future - is it preferred that I do four years of undergrad studies first?

Also, do Americans rank the Universities of California above USC or the other way round?

Thanks for any answers in advance.
