Chemistry, B.S. - 3+4 Pre-Pharmacy Option
The 3+4 Pre-Pharmacy option is designed within the B.S. Chemistry program, allowing students to complete both B.S. Chemistry and Doctor of Pharmacy degrees in seven years. Students will be admitted into this program by Millersville University and complete a 3-year program in the Chemistry department that includes all courses required in the first three years (101.0 credits) of a B.S. chemistry degree. To remain in the program, each student must maintain an overall GPA of 3.0 as well as a science GPA of 3.0 at Millersville University. The students will then enroll in a 4-year Pharm. D. degree program at the pharmacy school of their choice. Upon successful completion of the first-year pharmacy program coursework, the chemistry department will accept a professional block of 19.0 credits from the pharmacy school. The 120.0 total credits earned will be the basis for awarding a B.S. chemistry degree from Millersville University, provided the student has completed all other requirements.
