It depends on the college, but in general these are standard prereq classes.
Biology 1/2
General Chemistry 1/2
Organic Chemistry Lecture and Lab 1/2
Physics 1/2
Freshmen English Composition 1/2
Public Speaking 1
Economics (Macro or Micro)
Human Anatomy and Physiology
Psychology 1
Calculus
Maybe Microbiology
some general humanities, social sciences courses
Most schools show a tremendous bias against community college only students. In my class of 162, only 2 or 3 of us are community college only students.

definitely take some chemistry classes, some biochemistry classes. you will have to take anatomy eventually. Math is a must too. If you want a head start on being a pharmacist, you should definitely apply for a pharmacist tech position at walgreens, they hire above 16 or 18 for that job.

The question is what DON'T you have to take to be a pharmacist. I would suggest talking to a counselor first because it really depends on where you plan to transfer.
You should expect to take chemistry and really hard math.
Good luck.
