Pre-Pharmacy Program
The Curriculum is divided into a 2-year pre-pharmacy (66 credits) and a 4-year
professional program phase (152 credits). The pre-pharmacy curriculum
(download below) provides a solid knowledge base and ability to use critical
thought process in the biological and physical sciences. It also includes about
30 credits of communication courses, humanities, social sciences and other
general education courses.
In high school the student should take an academic curriculum in preparation for
entrance to college. A sound basic education in science and mathematics courses
is an essential part of preparation for the study of pharmacy. Good written and oral
communication skills are important.
Students may be admitted as freshman, or transfer into the pre-pharmacy or
professional program depending upon the courses completed. Students planning
to transfer from another college or university should consult with the College of
Pharmacy early in their academic careers to plan course work that will transfer as
satisfying the pre-pharmacy requirements. Numerous transfer equivalencies have
been established for courses from many colleges and universities. To determine if
your course or courses will transfer as equivalent to specific SDSU courses,

All students (SDSU or transfer) seeking admission to the professional program
must submit an application. Go to the Admission to the Pharm.D. Program page
for information on how to apply. Students are admitted only for the Fall semester
and the deadline for applying for admission is February 1 of that year.
Students are notified of their acceptance into the professional program during the
Spring semester. A non-refundable pharmacy major fee (approximately $600) is
required of all students invited to enter the professional program in order to secure
their position for the Fall semester. Also, students accepted into the program must
pass a criminal background check as directed by the College before acceptance
is confirmed.
Please download the Pre-Pharmacy Curriculum and/or Shadowing Form.
