What is the first step toward admission to the SIUE School of Pharmacy?
If you are a high school student, take as many mathematics and science courses as you can. Even though the SIUE School of Pharmacy will not look at your high school grades, a good science/math background will prepare you for the many science courses that are included in the pre-pharmacy curriculum. You will spend at least the first two years of college completing courses in chemistry, biology, physics, and mathematics as well as completing some general education courses. Check the pre-pharmacy curriculum to see the list of courses you will be required to complete before applying to the SIUE School of Pharmacy. If you are in college now, then begin taking courses toward completion of the pre-pharmacy curriculum. If you are a taking the pre-Pharmacy courses at a college or university other than SIUE, check the Web site for transfer course articulation lists to ensure that the course(s) will transfer.
