Many schools of pharmacy offer a doctorate of pharmacy that requires six years of study beyond high school, two years of pre-pharmacy and four years of study in a professional school of pharmacy. Prospective pharmacy students should plan their programs to meet the requirements of the particular professional school of pharmacy to which they plan to transfer. The following two-year preparatory program is suggested for students applying to the WVU School of Pharmacy and Marshall University School of Pharmacy. Elective slots in the model schedule should be filled with courses that satisfy required general education credits at the pharmacy school. Students without the necessary prerequisites for calculus will be required to take MATH 1540  or MATH 1530  and MATH 1540 . The pre-pharmacy advisor should be consulted prior to scheduling each semester.
