PharmD Admission Myth vs. Fact

Myth:  You need to get an associate's or bachelor's degree before you start Temple's PharmD program.

Fact:  You only need to complete our prerequisite courses at any accredited college or university before the beginning of your first fall semester of Temple's PharmD program. It typically takes applicants two-three years to complete the prerequisites.
