Is the pre-pharmacy curriculum considered a heavy course load?
The typical or average student load for the general WVU student is about 15 credit hours per semester. The pre-pharmacy student typically takes 19 hours in each semester of his/her freshman and sophomore years. Although that is a heavier load than many students consider “normal”, any student may take up to 19 hours a semester. Over 19 is considered an overload and requires special permission.
