Does the University of California - Santa Barbara have a graduates program?

Question

I want to go to med school for two years for pharmacy.

Answer 1

Whoah. You might want to start looking up the admissions pages of some pharmacy schools and read up. You're really way off base in terms of how higher education works. I'll try and give you a brief summary.

UC Santa Barbara has undergrad and grad level programs.

Pharmacy in CA requires a PharmD. That's grad level. You go to Pharmacy School. Med school is for getting a MD and becoming a doctor. If you want to be a pharmacist, you go to pharmacy school. Someone above me gave a good list.

In CA, competition to get a spot in pharm school is particularly intense. Most get a bachelors degree first. You can get in by just taking the courses required by pharmacy schools (they want you to have finished them before they accept you) without finishing a bachelors, but these students are in the minority in CA. Best case is you finish those prerequisite courses in 2 years, and then do pharm school which usually lasts 4 years (schools like Univ of Pacific are year round so you finish in 3 years).

There's no "pre-pharmacy" major. You just look up the required courses of pharm schools and make sure you take them. You want to aim for a 3.5 GPA because competition is quite intense now.

Answer 2

UC Santa Barbara does have graduate programs. See:

But they do not offer pharmacy degrees.

Also, I don't believe you can get a pharmacy degree in 2 years. The following schools in California have pharmacy programs:

Answer 3

your GPAs are fairly well and your additional curriculars also are REALLY well. However, I feel your SATs are somewhat low When I implemented to schools (I'm a senior at Virginia Tech finding out Engineering) i received into a few wonderful methods Virginia Tech, Purdue, University of Illinois-Urbana. The colleges you're concerned about are I could say both par or somewhat greater whilst in comparison to the universities I received into (i am not utterly certain). The lowest SAT ranking i received was once like a 670 at the Reading. Since you're in need of to be an engineer that Math ranking goes to must be as much as say a seven-hundred or some thing. I'm now not announcing that you just don't seem to be going to get in with the ones grades, however I feel if you are on par with what i stated above, you'll be able to be in MUCH bigger form. If you seem on the "minimal GPA" required Its bullshit and also you must obviously blow it out of the water I wish this is helping you, all of the high-quality of success and together with your credentials thus far you'll be able to get into someplace fairly well

Answer 4

Yes, UCSB does have a graduate (not graduates) program, but unfortunately,they do not have a Pharmacy program as part of that, according to their website.

Answer 5
