PURDUE UNIVERSITY  -  SCHOOL OF PHARMACY AND PHARMACAL SCIENCES

Plan of Study for the Pre-Pharmacy Program at Ball State University

Ball State University does not grant a degree in Pharmacy. You may choose to complete two years of pre-pharmacy on this campus. The following plans of study are specifically designed for those students who expect to apply for admission to the Purdue University School of Pharmacy and Pharmacal Sciences. If you decide to transfer to another institution other than Purdue, you may have to adjust your plan of study. Purdue offers only a Doctorate of Pharmacy (a 6-year program). The first two years of the program may be completed with the following courses at Ball State University.

Some rearrangement of course work is possible but prerequisites, offerings, and space availability should be considered, e.g. CHEM 232 is not offered in the Fall Semester.

1MATHS 165-166 (8 semester hours) may be substituted for MATHS 161-162. Students with insufficient preparation may take MA 108 or 111 in the fall semester and start a calculus sequence in the spring semester.

2CS 104 Intro to Micro Comp (3) is not required but is highly recommended. Other appropriate electives are list on back of page

You should achieve at least a "B" average for all courses previously taken at a recognized college or university. Grades earned at a Purdue Regional Campus will transfer along with course credit. Those courses taken at any college or university outside of the Purdue University Regional Campus System will transfer as credit only and be recorded as such; however, all grades earned at an accredited college or university will be used for admission purposes. Please note that only a "C" grade or better will transfer.
