Starting in Fall 2025, we will begin enrolling students in the Bachelor of Science- Pharmaceutical Sciences program.  The degree consists of two years of prerequisites at any accredited college and two years of courses at UNMC’s College of Pharmacy.  Completion of this program satisfies the prerequisites for numerous UNMC health professions programs (PharmD, PhD, MD, PA, or DDS) making it ideal for students who know they want to be involved with health professions or biomedical research but are undecided on their ultimate career path.
