*Chemistry each of these courses must be a complete, standard, college-level course utilizing full laboratory facilities. In instances where students feel uncertain of their preparation in chemistry and wish to take additional work, biochemistry is recommended.

** Biology applicants, particularly non-science majors, are strongly encouraged to pursue upper level coursework in the biological sciences beyond the minimum requirement. Such courses might include biochemistry, cell biology, comparative anatomy, embryology, general genetics, histology, immunology, mammalian physiology, microbiology or related courses.

*** Electives In as much as the medical curriculum is devoted largely to the biological and physical sciences, a student should acquire a broad cultural background in the pre-medical preparation. The behavioral sciences, including psychology, sociology, etc., are considered valuable. Additional dimensions are derived from higher mathematics, computer sciences, languages, literature, philosophy, history, political science, economics, etymology and statistics.

** Microbiology may be available only as a 3-hour course (while the 4-hour Microbiology course is preferred, the 3-hour course will be acceptable if a laboratory is included.

*** Biochemistry lab is not required, but recommended if available. If the college you attend offers only one General Biochemistry course, you may make up the hours with an additional upper level biology course, such as Cell Biology, Genetics, Proteins, etc.

Note: While an undergraduate degree is valuable, and the majority of students accepted to the UT College of Pharmacy have a degree prior to admission, if you are able to successfully complete all 90 hours of prerequisite courses within three academic years, you may apply to the College during the 3rd year of your undergraduate program.
