text: what is the best degree if you wish to become a drug rep.? if you are or know a dug rep. is would be a plus. i have recruited for this position. you do not need to be a drug rep or a pharmacist. that is silly. basically all you need is a bs with a concentration in one of the sciences like chemistry or biology. a business degreee with a minor in one of the sciences is fantastic.  remember, a drug rep is a sales person. you need general knowledge of the field but the company will provide training on the specifics of what you will be representing in the field.
