Undergraduate Degree
While a student is expected to excel in the natural and social sciences, most programs do not require a specific major. In fact, a bachelor’s degree is not always required. Students are free to choose the major they prefer, even one outside of the sciences, however the number of math and sciences courses required do lead most pre-pharmacy students to choose a major in the natural sciences.
