The Pre-medical and Pre-pharmacy Tracks of the BS degree allow students to take all courses required for entrance into their intended professional health program, and gives them the flexibility to tailor their program to meet their individual needs. Students in these tracks retain the option of: (a) attending medical or pharmacy school, (b) attending graduate school in chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology, or a variety of medically-related PhD programs, (c) employment in the chemistry or pharmaceutical industry. Additionally, the flexibility of these tracks allows students to change the focus of their degree program during their undergraduate experience.
