Pre-Professional Phase Courses
The pre-professional phase of the program, offered through Richard L. Conolly College, consists of a minimum of four semesters of coursework in the liberal arts and sciences. Successful completion of two years of pre-professional study (P-1 and P-2) provides the foundation for admission to the professional pharmacy curriculum. The course sequence for the pre-professional phase is listed below. For course descriptions, please refer to the LIU Brooklyn undergraduate bulletin.
Credentials of students attending other colleges for the pre-professional phase of the program will be evaluated on an individual course basis, and transfer credit will be granted for those courses meeting the requirements of LIU Pharmacy. Only those pre-professional students who meet the progression requirements, as outlined under the Admissions section of this website, will be admitted to the first professional year of study at LIU Pharmacy.
While the pre-professional phase of the program is designed to be completed in two academic years, students requiring proficiency and skills courses may have a lengthened course of study.
