Physics in the Pre-pharmacy Curriculum
This study presents the results of a survey of the 81 colleges of pharmacy affiliated with the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy regarding requirements of physics in the pre-pharmacy curriculum. Responses included the number of semesters/quarters required, credit hours, group of students for whom the course is designed, mathematical basis, and length of time the physics requirement has been in place. Comments were made regarding strengths and weaknesses of the physics course at those colleges requiring physics, as well as reasons why physics is not required in the curriculum at the other colleges.
