Chemistry, B.S. Accelerated Professional Concentration - Doctor of Pharmacy


Advisement for the major is available from the Chemistry  Department

Chemistry, B.S. Accelerated Professional Concentration - Doctor of Pharmacy Curriculum Guide  (Suggested 3-Year Plan of Study)

The Chemistry Department offers a broad selection of concentrations for students seeking careers in chemistry and the physical sciences.

  • The Bachelor of Science in chemistry requires a minimum of 120 credits for graduation.

  • Chemistry majors must have at least a C average in the math and science courses required by the major.

  • Transfer students majoring in chemistry are required to complete at least 15 hours in chemistry at Salisbury University.

  • While at SU, students complete the chemistry core courses identified here as well as the additional requirements that follow.

  • Students must also complete all SU General Education requirements prior to entering pharmacy school.

  • In this accelerated concentration, a student completes three years of study at SU and then, if accepted, the student may enter the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy (Baltimore or Shady Grove campus) or the University of Maryland Eastern Shore School of Pharmacy during what would have been the fourth year of study at SU.

  • Please note, the completion of SU requirements does not guarantee admission into pharmacy school; additionally, it is the student’s responsibility to make sure all pharmacy school prerequisites are met. 

  • After successful completion of the first year of study at pharmacy school, and if all other SU requirements have been met, the student receives the baccalaureate degree in chemistry from Salisbury University.

Checklist

This checklist is an unofficial tool for planning. Matriculated students and advisors should consult the Academic Requirements Report in GullNet before and after registering for classes each semester to track academic progress.
