Pharmacists dispense drugs prescribed by physicians and other health practitioners and provide information to patients about medications and their use. Pharmacists also advise physicians and other health practitioners on the selection, dosages and side effects of medications, and must understand the use, composition and effects of drugs. The Pre-Pharmacy program at the University of Nebraska at Kearney will prepare you for higher education in the field.
A minimum of 64 semester hours are required for admission at most pharmacy schools. However, many of the students entering pharmacy school have a baccalaureate degree. Therefore, Pre-Pharmacy students are expected to choose a major so that they can be working towards a baccalaureate degree concurrently with the Pre-Pharmacy program.

I have visited UNMC and met with the Pharmacy School Assistant Dean who gave us a tour and talked about opportunities. We see things early to know what to expect – that includes small and large hospitals. My education is more than preparing me for my future."
