<p>what are some middle and above schools that offer pharmacy, premed, as a major for undergraduates ?</p>
<p>[Let</a> me google that for you](<a href=“LMGTFY - Let Me Google That For You”>LMGTFY - Let Me Google That For You)</p>
<p>When you say “pharmacy”, do you mean pharmaceutical sciences or PharmD? The PharmD is a graduate degree (aka a first professional degree), so no schools offer it to undergrads. If you’re looking for colleges that have a pharmacy school and accept freshman with guaranteed entry options, visit aacp.org and click on the school section. There are a handful of “0-6” schools and many “2+4” with early assurance. Otherwise, you could take pre-requisite courses (bio, chem, orgo, physics, calc, A&P are the major ones) for your first 2-4 years at any school, then take the PCAT and apply to pharmacy schools. Hope that helps.</p>
<p>Don’t know what a “middle and above” school is…size, ranking, geography? Lots of schools have pre-pharmacy and pre-med so it might help to further define what you’re looking for.</p>
<p>Almost every college has a pre-pharm and pre-med curriculum. You major in whatever you want and you take the 8-10 required classes of bio, chem, organic chem, physics, and calculus.</p>
<p>^Pharmacy schools require far more than 8-10 classes of pre-reqs, I would say a minimum of 15 specific classes is more likely…and they vary by school! Make sure you drill down to the detailed table of pharmacy school requirements (PSAR) on the aacp website. In addition to the math/science sequences, they’re almost certain to require specific “soft” courses like public speaking, econ, psych, ethics, etc. You have to make sure you are fulfilling the exact requirements for the schools you’re applying to…which is why have a pre-pharmacy advisor can be very helpful.</p>

<p>Does your state flagship have a pharmacy school? That course list looks suspiciously light on pre-reqs…no stats, ethics, microbiology or biochem, plus gen-eds are generally expected to be complete, or nearly so, by the beginning of pharmacy school. The following list of pre-reqs for Auburn would be more typical:</p>

<p>University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine</p>
<p>Academic Requirements
All of those who matriculate at University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine must have an undergraduate degree which includes at least one year of post secondary education in the United States. </p>
<p>A strong background in mathematics is recommended. The School of Medicine prefers candidates who have a variety of course work typical of a liberal arts education, but this is not mandatory. Course work in the humanities and social sciences is desirable. Many applicants have majors outside the sciences; the School of Medicine looks favorably on such applicants as long as the science requirements are met. </p>
<p>Acceptance of courses taken at foreign universities is determined individually at the discretion of the Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid. You should have completed most premedical requirements to receive serious consideration. All requirements must be met before matriculation.</p>
<p>In examining your candidacy, the admissions committee will consider whether you have completed one year each of:</p>
<p>Biology, exclusive of botany (with one full year lab or a single two credit lab);
General or inorganic chemistry (with one full year lab or a single two credit lab);
Organic chemistry (with one full year lab or a single two credit lab);
Physics (with one full year lab or a single two credit lab); and
English (including W courses taken outside the English department).
We will accept AP credit if that credit was awarded by your college/university and the course credit granted appears on your transcript.</p>
<p>I wasn’t including the core curriculum (gen ed) classes that students normally have to fulfill. I was listing the classes for each track, and I did note that each pharm school has different req’ts.</p>
<p>Pre-health tracks assume that the person is majoring in something (and therefore must complete Core/Gen Ed), but also must include specific courses related to their Pre-health track. Again, I did note that each Pharm school may have some of its own req’ts. </p>
<p>I do think it’s interesting that Pharm schools can vary widely in req’ts, while med schools generally do not have significantly different req’ts. </p>
<p>Anyway…my point was that almost any college offers the courses necessary to fulfil pre-pharm classes. The OP was asking for school names and virtually any university would work.</p>
