Biochemistry (B.A.) Leading to Pharm.D.
Salve Regina University along with the University of Saint Joseph offers a pathway for students to earn their Doctor of Pharmacy in six years. Students complete three years of study in biochemistry at Salve Regina, followed by three years in Saint Joseph’s Pharm.D. program. Before conferral of the B.A. in Biochemistry from Salve Regina University, the student must request that University of Saint Joseph forward transcripts to verify completion of all required course work. See Pharmacy Dual Degree for more information.
Biochemistry (B.A.) majors in the 3+3 pharmacy dual degree complete a minimum of 120 credits to earn a bachelor’s degree: 49–51 credits of core courses, 59 credits (15 courses) in their major, and 15–17 elective credits:
