Pre-Pharmacy

There are six pharmacy schools in Texas, none of which require a bachelor’s degree for admission. However, because of the competitiveness of the programs, a bachelor’s degree is recommended. Composite course requirements include 20 semester hours of biology; 16 hours of chemistry (inorganic and organic); eight hours of physics; six hours of mathematics; 12 hours of English and speech; and the remainder in history, political science and behavioral, cultural or social sciences. The Pharmacy College Admissions Test also is required for admission.
