Prepharmacy

The prepharmacy program comprises two years of study at IUPUI during which time students will apply to a B.S. or Pharm.D. program at a school of pharmacy. The following scheme provides the course preparation for application to the School of Pharmacy and Pharmacal Sciences at Purdue University, West Lafayette. A similar program has been designed to interface with the Butler University School of Pharmacy; consult the prepharmacy advisor in the Department of Biology.
