Pre-Pharmacy Requirements (at undergraduate level)
The pre-pharmacy curriculum is similar to other health care professional preparation and is intended to give the student the best possible background to pharmacy. Pre-pharmacy requirements may be taken at any regionally-accredited college or university and must be completed prior to matriculation into Belmont University School of Pharmacy. All prerequisite courses must be completed with a grade of “C” (2.0) or better or credited by receiving Advanced Placement (AP) high school credit. Possible exemptions will be decided by the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs in consultation with the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and the University Registrar.
Pre-pharmacy course requirements necessitate at least two years of full-time academic study. Students applying for admission to the Pharm. D. program must have completed at a minimum the following undergraduate course requirements.
1 Students enrolled in the Pre-Pharmacy Curriculum at Belmont University are required to fulfill convocation requirements established by the University.
2 Please note these courses have prerequisites. They may be met via multiple established methods, but students should meet with an advisor to ensure prerequisites are met.
3 Belmont students must take a General Education "Linked Cohort." The Linked Cohorts are two courses taken together. Please work closely with an advisor so that course requirements above can be met within linked courses. Failure to do so may result in the student being required to take additional course work to meet the Linked Courses Cohort requirement.
