PrePharmacy Curriculum Offered at UT-Austin
SUGGESTED SEQUENCE for Pharmacy admissions requirements*

For all FRESHMEN beginning Fall 2005 and all APPLICANTS FOR FALL 2006
Revised June 2005


FIRST PRE-PROFESSIONAL YEAR

The suggested course sequence in the first year depends upon the results of the math placement exam. The prerequisite for CH 301 at UT-Austin is M 305G with a grade of at least C or a score greater than or equal to 560 on the SAT II: Mathematics Level I test . Your math ability will determine if you should begin with M 301 or M 305G and possibly CH 304K prior to CH 301. In addition the placement of physics, statistics, and literature are somewhat interchangeable; although, literature must be taken in the second year.

* Beginning Fall 2005, calculus must include differential and at least an introduction to integral calculus. This is satisfied with M 408C or M 408K+L. In addition, business calculus will no longer satisfy the calculus requirement.

** These courses are somewhat interchangeable; literature must be taken in the second year; statistics from a wide variety of fields is accepted.
