Prepare for a career in pharmacy. Become an ethical, compassionate servant leader in the health care profession.

What You’ll Learn

Your coursework will have a strong focus on biology and the sciences, preparing you for acceptance to an accredited pharmacy school. The 10-course pre-pharmacy concentration can be taken with any Mary undergraduate program, though many of our students pursue a biology degree.

Prepare for Pharmacy School

In addition to your coursework, you can engage in independent research projects, seminars, practice interviews, and panel discussions that will help you get into — and succeed in — pharmacy school.

Be Mentored by Experienced Faculty

You’ll receive individual attention in small-class settings and work closely with faculty who are distinguished educators and recognized leaders in their areas.

Strengthen Your Skills of Servant Leadership

Develop the Christian, Catholic, and Benedictine values of servant leadership that distinguish a Mary education and are much-needed in all health-related professions.
