The below schedules assume chemistry in high school and a strong math background with appropriate math placement scores.

The prepharmacy curriculum has some flexibility. When planning your prepharmacy program, join the prepharmacy listserv (email ) to receive updates about prepharmacy workshops and other recommended activities to help make your application more competitive. Admission into the PharmD program is competitive.

Major courses are not required to be taken during prepharmacy, but their completion is recommended for UK students as a strong back-up plan. Major (or UKCore) courses can be used as elective credits for prepharmacy purposes. Suggested elective courses (in order of preference) include: Biochemistry (BCH 401G); Genetics (BIO 304); Physiology (PGY 206); Cell Biology (BIO 315); Medical Terminology (CLA 131); Health Care Ethics; undergraduate courses in Colleges of Health Sciences and Public Health, Dual Degree prerequisites, major courses, and UK Core courses. Questions? UK COP Prepharmacy Advisor,

Notes: Composition and Communication I and II (WRD/CIS 110/111) are UK’s required writing and communication courses. Students who are not eligible for CHE 105/111 the first semester will extend their 3 year plan, unless a summer CHE course is completed.

*Elective or Major Course.

†BIO 155 or 153 will satisfy the Animal Biology Lab. At UK, BIO 153 is only offered during summer sessions. BIO 153 covers the preferred content, though either course is acceptable Revised 03/13/13
