Pharmacy is a vital and expanding part of health care. More and more young people are seeking a rewarding career in modern pharmacy. The pharmacies of today do much more than dispense medicine. They are a source of information for both physician and patient in the selection, dosage, and administration of the thousands of drugs available. Pharmacy requires scientific knowledge, personal and professional skills, and a commitment to a lifetime of learning.

Many schools admit students into their Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) programs after they have completed two years of undergraduate work. Other schools require three years of undergraduate work or even a Bachelor's degree. The minimum requirements required for the University of Georgia and Mercer University are available on the pre-pharmacy requirements page. Berry students are held in very high regard by most of the area pharmacy schools and, therefore, enjoy a high acceptance rate into their Pharm.D. programs.
