Pre-Pharmacy at Northwest College

Northwest College offers an associate of science specialization in Pre-Pharmacy. The courses required in this specialization parallel those found at four-year institutions and should transfer without difficulty. Students must successfully complete core courses with a “C-” or better to meet specialization requirements. Students who are planning to transfer to a four-year program may need to have additional hours beyond the specialization requirements at Northwest College in order to transfer in as a junior. These students should consult with their advisor and the appropriate four-year college catalog. To check for transfer requirements at popular regional schools, go to:
