Pre-Health: Pre-Pharmacy

University of Missouri - St. Louis

On campus living is currently optional, but quarantine seems to have made this year’s freshman class less ready for off campus living. We want to make sure that they have a support system in place, which they will have in the dorms.

The University of Missouri-St. Louis proudly offers classes that prepare students to enter pharmacy school. While taking the required classes students should also pursue the B.A. or B.S. degree in the major of their choice. Since admission requirements can vary between pharmacy schools, it is highly recommended that students consult the catalogs of the schools to which they intend to apply.

Students are also encouraged to meet regularly with the pre-health advisor to ensure they are meeting requirements.

In addition to taking required classes, students should plan to regularly participate in extracurricular activities such as shadowing, volunteering and research.

Pre-Med students should also prepare to sit for the Pharmacy College Admissions Test (PCAT) during their junior year. Practice tests are regularly offered on campus by third-party test prep organizations.
