A: FROM MENTOR MAMIE MOY IN TX
Pharmacy programs require fundamental chemistry and biology courses.
Normally students complete a Pre-Pharmacy program consisting of one
year of general chemistry, one year of organic chemistry, one year of
biology, one semester of physics, one semester of microbiology and
the core courses required by the University. Upon satisfactory
completion of the pre-pharmacy program students are admitted into the
Professional Pharmacy Program. The Doctor of Pharmacy degree is
awarded upon completing the requirements - courses and an internship.

The starting salary will depend on location and Board Certification.
