Pre-Pharmaceutical Studies

There is no specific major that prepares a student for pharmacy school. Instead, pharmacy schools require the completion of prerequisite courses. This 3 + 1 program provides those prerequisites required of the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and, depending on the student’s grade point average and PCAT score, a guaranteed interview at MUSC for their Pharmacy program. If accepted into the pharmacy program at MUSC, the student will spend the fourth year in the program, therefore, completing year one of four of their doctorate of pharmacy degree prior to graduation from Coker University.

Students in the Pre-Pharmaceutical Studies program are required to complete the following prerequisites prior to their fourth year at Coker University.
