Physician Assistant

Pre-Pharmacy Program

Students interested in earning a Bachelor of Science degree from Missouri S&T while pursuing a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree from the University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis (UHSP) may want to explore our accelerated “3+4” program. This option allows students to complete a carefully designed curriculum that fulfills all prerequisites for the Pharm.D. program, providing a streamlined path to both degrees.
