The Department of Biological Sciences offers a two-year program leading to acceptance in the pharmacy program at the University of Kentucky. Our students have also used Murray State preparation to attend Samford, Mercer, as well as other schools. Students interested in receiving the B.S. degree before applying to Pharmacy School may follow the Biology/Pre-Medicine option.

Career Outlook

Pharmacy programs prepare students for work as pharmacists or in a wide range of activities in the private sector, including research, marketing and quality control. Given the extensive investment by pharmaceutical firms in research, pharmacy has considerable potential for the future. Never before has the potential been as great for the pharmacist to contribute to the health and well-being of the public. With the dramatic changes in the health care system, pharmacists are assuming additional responsibilities in the delivery of health care. The pharmacist's role has expanded beyond the traditional one of drug preparation and distribution.
