Does it matter what size academic load I carry during my prepharmacy coursework?
We recommend that applicants carry a full academic load (i.e., 15 to 16 credit hours) per semester and suggest taking a minimum of three science courses each term. This gives you a chance to preview what is in store for you in pharmacy school, which is a full course load that cannot be taken part time. At the same time, this gives us a better opportunity to evaluate your chances of success in pharmacy school.
