Pre-Pharmacy


Students at Montana Tech can complete the 1st two years of a pre-pharmacy program and then transfer to another school to complete the program.  While you are at Montana Tech and in the pre-pharmacy program, you should register as a Biological Science or Chemistry major and be assigned an advisor in this department who specializes in pre-pharmacy advising. In the 2nd year of this pre-pharmacy program you should take the PCAT test and apply for admission to the pharmacy school of your choice.

 

Pharmacy is a popular degree and admission is selective and is based on the successful completion of a pre-pharmacy curriculum, GPA, PCAT scores, a successful internship, and letters of recommendation. Montana Tech has had a long history of placing students in pharmacy programs who were well prepared academically by our pre-pharmacy program and are now practicing pharmacists.

 

The program described below is designed to meet the requirements of The University of Montana - Missoula pre-pharmacy program:

Note(s)


Electives should be carefully chosen in consultation with the student’s advisor to insure that they meet the requirements of the Montana Tech core curriculum and in particular should be chosen to insure that 6 credits are from the Humanities Core and 6 credits are from the Social Sciences Core.

60 hours of pharmacy observation are required!
