Track

Build a Pharmacy School Application That Holds Up
You came to find one thing out: does this study track actually get you ready for pharmacy school?
Goshen College’s pre-pharmacy study track is a pre-professional advising path you follow alongside a science major in biology or chemistry. Advisors fit in the courses pharmacy schools require, and so you graduate with a bachelor’s degree plus your pre-pharmacy prerequisites. Students leave after building the research and record a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program looks for.
You do it in small classes, with advising that is one-on-one, and with faculty who learns your name. Whether you are aiming for clinical pharmacy, community pharmacy, pharmaceutical research, or healthcare administration, the work you do here, in chemistry labs and at local pharmacies, is what makes your application real.

Where Pre-Pharmacy Graduates Go
Goshen College pre-pharmacy alumni have continued to Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) programs at Purdue University College of Pharmacy, Fairleigh Dickinson University School of Pharmacy, and the University of Michigan College of Pharmacy. The track prepares you for roles in clinical pharmacy, community pharmacy, pharmaceutical research, and healthcare administration.
Pre-pharmacy is a track, not a major, so you choose biology or chemistry, and your advisor maps your courses to each pharmacy school’s prerequisites. View the complete program requirements in our catalog.

Where You’ll Get Real Pharmacy Experience
The record that gets you into pharmacy school is built from real work, not a checklist. You do undergraduate research in chemistry and biology, take lab-based coursework with real-world applications, and shadow and intern at local pharmacies and hospitals near campus. The Maple Scholars summer program pays you to do research without leaving Goshen, Indiana.
You work in the Schrock Science Laboratories, with modern scientific equipment and mentoring from faculty who care about your success.

Paying for Goshen
The pre-pharmacy track costs you nothing extra. You pay tuition for your science major, and the advising that maps you to pharmacy school comes with it. Most Goshen students receive financial aid or scholarships, so the sticker price is rarely what a family actually pays. To see your own price after aid, run the net price calculator and talk with a real person in the financial aid office.
