About Pre-Pharmacy
At the Wingate University School of Pharmacy, we don’t require a bachelor’s degree for admission. You can complete the required prerequisite courses at any accredited institution in the United States, but if you’re certain you want to earn a PharmD, you can accelerate your education with our pre-pharmacy course of study.
Pre-pharmacy is not a major at Wingate University, so you do not earn a degree when you complete your prerequisite courses. The pre-pharmacy course of study can be completed in as little as two years allowing you to earn your PharmD in as few as six total years (two years of pre-pharmacy coursework and four years of doctorate coursework) or you do have the option to complete a bachelor's degree prior to applying to the PharmD program. Students will work with an academic advisor to determine the best path to complete the pre-pharmacy courses. Once you complete all of your PharmD prerequisites through the pre-pharmacy undergraduate track, you can apply straight into the Doctor of Pharmacy degree program.
