Pre-Pharmacy Program

Pharmacy is a very rewarding and very competitive career that offers great jobs, great benefits, and interesting work. Students who pursue careers in pharmacy typically have interests in chemistry, biology, and math, as well as the desire to improve people’s health and solve problems.

At JCU, you’re learning in the heart of one of the nation’s top healthcare regions, with access to internships, research and alumni connections needed to guide your career. Plus, you’ll get firsthand research experience with faculty who will help deepen your knowledge and experience both in and out of the classroom.
