Degree Requirements and Courses

Audrey Long ‘20 on Being Prepared for Pharmacy School

I went to Concordia before attending NDSU's School of Pharmacy. I had an incredible experience at Concordia, and I appreciate the small class sizes, approachable professors, and unique and diverse courses. During my classes and experience with the pre‐pharmacy club, I learned how many different roles pharmacists can play in hospital, ambulatory, and retail settings. Next year, I will be completing a PGY1 pharmacy residency in the Cities, and I can honestly say that Concordia did a great job at preparing me for pharmacy school and clinical experiences.

Access to Experts in the Field

The biosciences major links students directly with professionals who are doing amazing things. With a curriculum that accesses the expertise of two institutions in the Fargo-Moorhead area, students have access to even more connections and mentors.

Engage Outside the Classroom

Enjoy your coursework and engage in Concordia’s wealth of extracurricular activities. Cobbers in the sciences participate in everything from sports to music ensembles.

Enter a Career with a Growing Need

There is a growing need for pharmacists in healthcare. By majoring in biosciences with a concentration in pharmacy, you will have the opportunity to serve your community in a unique and necessary way.

 

“A liberal arts education fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which are highly valuable in pharmacy and biotechnology careers. Graduates from the biosciences program will draw upon the benefits of this curriculum, allowing them to bring a valuable perspective to their pharmacy practice.”
