Pharmacy 720

Program Director: Alex J. Roche, Ph.D.

Rutgers University-Camden does not offer a pharmacy program.

We offer a "pre-pharmacy track," and Rutgers-Camden pre-pharmacy students are able to apply to transfer to pharmacy schools (such as the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy at Rutgers University-New Brunswick) for the third year and on. However, this is on a competitive basis and there is not a guarantee of acceptance.

Requirements for different pharmacy schools vary, so students are encouraged to research the requirements for every school they eventually wish to apply to.

For the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy in New Brunswick, the requirements include:

50:120:101,102  General Biology I,II

50:120:107  General Biology I Laboratory

50:160:115-116  Chemical Principles I,II

50:160:125-126  Chemical Principles Laboratory I,II

50:350:101-102  English Composition

50:640:121  Unified Calculus

50:960:183  Elementary Applied Statistics.

The second year includes:

50:160:335-336  Organic Chemistry I,II

50:160:339-340  Organic Chemistry Laboratory I,II

50:220:105  Microeconomic Principles

50:750:203-204  General Physics I,II

50:750:133-134  Introductory Physics Laboratory I,II

50:120:348  Human Physiology

6 credits in the humanities or social sciences

This program can be completed only through daytime attendance.

The university's Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy in New Brunswick admits students directly from high school. Students already admitted to the pharmacy school have the option of taking the first two years of academic work in Camden.
