Considering a Career in Pharmacy?

Students who want to apply to a Pharmacy School may complete most of the prerequisite courses at Montgomery College. Students may apply to most Pharmacy Schools after the completion of 68 credits. Pharmacy schools require that students submit scores from the Pharmacy College Admission Test ( PCAT ).

The State of Maryland has one pharmacy school, the University of Maryland, Baltimore School of Pharmacy (UMB) UMB has two locations, the main campus in downtown Baltimore and a new satellite campus at the Universities at Shady Grove. UMB School of Pharmacy at Shady Grove courses will be taught mainly by streaming video with some lab requirements in Baltimore. Admission requirements are the same for both campuses of UMB. Both the Main Campus and Shady Grove programs are FALL Entrance only. Attend the upcoming Open House for more information. Other nearly Pharmacy schools are Howard University and Shenandoah University.
