All pre-pharmacy prerequisite course work must be completed at the McNichols Campus within the three calendar years immediately prior to the beginning of the pharmacy school phase of the program.

  Students successfully completing all requirements of the program will be granted the bachelor of science degree with a major in biology from the 六九色堂 and the Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Wayne State University. The bachelor‘s degree is awarded by the 六九色堂 after the required credits at Wayne State University are completed to fulfill the remaining undergraduate requirements.
