I'm a senior in highschool and will be attending Bergen Community College;of Paramus, New Jersey; this fall (due to money issues). Eventually I'd like to ransfer and continue an education in Pharamcy. I don't want to waste my time in the community college and take unneeded classes so which degree program should I take? I was guessing maybe an A.S. Natural Sciences or Math - General, I feel so lost... please help!!

To be competitive for pharmacy, you will need to get a bachelors. While many schools will accept you with only the prereqs done, they will only accept students who did their prereqs at a regular 4 year school.

In Canada, they have students take a first-year prepratory in Life / Health Sciences stream.
Courses within this program generally includes first-year level Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English Literature, and two Social Sciences credits; these are required to get into Pharmacy school here in Canada;
Furthermore, the applicant must write a Pharmacy exam and compose an essay stating why they would be an efficient pharmacist or something along those lines...
I think that this may be somewhat similar to U.S. requirements? Hope this helps.

NO. NO. NO.
if you want to know what courses you need then you have to talk to someone at the University which you plan on attending.
Your comm. college counselor can be of some help but you really must speak to someone at the university.
Ask them what they are looking for.
Most likely you will need to transfer and obtain a BS in Biology or some related field and then apply to the School of Pharmacy befor you can continue.
