Course variations

Course summary

This course in particular will help students to prepare for required aptitude tests (MCAT, DAT, PCAT, and OAT). The vast majority of qualified pre-professional majors from Tennessee Tech are accepted into professional schools in Tennessee or elsewhere. This pre-professional major must take certain courses required for admission to professional schools while at Tennessee Tech, but they may pursue any major in order to work toward a degree. Students in certain pre-professional health science areas have the option of obtaining a B.S. from Tennessee Tech University degree by completing three years at Tennessee TTU and one year at a professional school, providing they are admitted into a clinical program after the third year of undergraduate work.

Entry requirement for international students

Students should have complete two or three years of undergraduate work as required by the pharmacy school including specific pharmacy school requirements, apply and if admitted, complete the clinical program and receive a degree from the pharmacy school (no degree from Tennessee Tech), complete three years of specified courses in the pre-pharmacy concentration of the "Applied Chemistry" Curriculum at Tennessee Tech, apply and if admitted, receive a B.S. degree in chemistry from Tennessee Tech after successfully completing one year of pharmacy school (a PharmD is awarded from the pharmacy school after completion of the 4-year clinical program), or begin in the pre pharmacy curriculum (non degree) at Tennessee Tech and later change into a degree granting curriculum to receive a B.S. from Tennessee Tech, then apply for admission into pharmacy school.
