Overview

Program Details

On the Pre-Pharmacy from Augustana College you’ll major in biology, chemistry or biochemistry.

Augustana’s program in pre-pharmacy will prepare you for admission to and high achievement in an accredited school of pharmacy. Augustana’s placement rate to pharmacy schools is excellent, around 95%.

More and more applicants to pharmacy schools have the bachelor’s degree instead of just two-three years of pre-pharmacy training. The B.A. is the best preparation for the doctorate and life as a professional pharmacist.

Throughout your pharmacy career you’ll rely on essential skills you learned at Augustana: excellent communication, quick thinking and problem-solving, cultural awareness and the ability to see issues from different perspectives.

Key facts

Augustana’s pre-pharmacy advisor works closely with all pre-pharmacy students beginning with the first year, so they can be on the right path to fulfilling entrance requirements for various pharmacy schools.

Among the high-tech laboratories in Augustana’s Hanson Hall of Science are individual labs for biochemistry and chemistry, anatomy and physiology, cell biology, genetics, and a human physiology laboratory for experience working with human cadavers—a rare opportunity for undergraduates.

All students in Augustana pre-health science fields have the benefit of professors who can advise them specifically because they know them as individuals. Even general biology and chemistry classes are small, and professors teach both classroom sessions and labs, with no teaching assistants.
