What classes do I need to take in high school for UF College of Pharmacy?

I’m about to begin high school this year and I want to go to UF College of Pharmacy. I know that there are certain classes that I need to take in high school in order to go to one of the Universities of Florida. Someone please tell me what the classes are. Thanks!

Since you want to go to Pharmacy School, you will want to take Biology, Chemistry, and Physics (Honors if possible). You will also want to take college level Biology and/or Chemistry (through dual enrollment, AP, or IB) while you are in high school, if that is possible. Take enough Math so that you will be ready to take college calculus when you are a freshman in college (and preferably, take at least some level of calculus in high school; AP or dual enrollment would be a good idea for calculus). Honors and AP courses in math look really good to the colleges, if you can keep your grades up. You’ll also need good communication skills, so take Honors English courses, and eventually take dual enrollment, AP, or IB English classes.

I am suggesting classes that would be good for anyone planning to become a pharmacist. For the University of Florida, you may want to take more honors level and college level classes than I have recommended, in areas other than Math, Science, and English. I don’t know how prestigious the University of Florida is or how difficult it is to gain admission. I’d suggest talking with someone like your guidance counselor about your courses and how they will affect getting into the University of Florida.

Pharmacy school is grad school. While it’s a good idea to take bio, chem, and physics in high school, it’s not a requirement.

Basically, get high grades and go to undergrad. If it’s one of the UF campuses, fine. If it’s another college, that’s fine too. Either way, you’re still going to have to apply to UF’s Pharmacy School (if they have one) separately, and after you’ve spent at least a couple of years in some undergrad college taking all the pharmacy school’s prerequisite classes.

The only really important one is AP Chemistry. Keep in mind most of the people in a pharmacy program got a 5 on the AP chem test. Calculus is good as well. Other than than, just get as high of a GPA as you can, and high SAT scores.

I recommend that you look into a 0-6 year(s) program. In high school, there isn’t a lot of requirements. Just as long as you get a high enough GPA, SAT score and etc.
