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. You can also look into our direct admit Pre-Pharmacy program in Temple's College of Science and Technology and degree partnerships with other schools.
