OPTIONAL Bachelor of Science (BS) in Pharmaceutical Sciences for Pharm.D. Students
Students admitted to the Pharm.D. program have the option to earn a BS in Pharmaceutical Sciences at the end of their second year of pharmacy school. This additional degree does NOT make students eligible for licensure; only the Pharm.D. can do that. Students pursuing this option should work with their academic advisor to ensure they will meet all of the UM General Education requirements prior to beginning the Pharm.D. program.
