Prerequisite Courses for RFUMS Dual-Degree Program
Students admitted to the pharmacy program will spend three years at Lake Forest College and will attain their biology degree at Lake Forest College after completing their first-year in pharmacy school. Thus, students must complete their required coursework in three years. This demanding schedule requires you to know early in your academic career that pharmacy is your desire. However, it will cut your tuition costs!
The following is one possible schedule for your courses. You should consult with HPAC for details!
Courses in bold are required for admission to Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, College of Pharmacy. Other courses required for the Lake Forest College Biology major are listed with an asterisk.
