Pre-Pharmacy

Associate in Science (Transfer)

As a pharmacist, you will do more than dispense medicine. You’ll help people use prescription medication safely and for maximum benefit. ICC can prepare you for this growing career with classes taught by expert instructors and tuition that won’t break the bank. After graduation, you can continue your education with confidence.

A student planning to prepare for a career in computer science, mathematics teaching at the high school level or as a research technician will essentially earn a major in mathematics. Many mathematics majors choose to take considerable work (possibly even a second major) in an applied field such as chemistry, physics, economics, accounting, computer programming, etc. By studying in an applied area along with mathematics, students strengthen their employability, especially in industry or at a research facility.
