Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / July 2005Can you apply to dental school with a pharmacy degree rather than a bachelor of science degree?
Both degrees take the same time to complete. I think it is better to complete a pharmacy degree because with this degree, you are already a certified pharmacist. And if you do not want to be a dentist anymore, at least pharmacy is something you can fall back on, right? > Both degrees take the same time to complete.

Rich actually pharm D is 4 years... >actually pharm D is 4 years... after college ? -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com > actually pharm D is 4 years... A B.S. in Pharmacy was 5 years since the 1960's in the US. By the turn of the millennium almost all pharmacy schools scrapped the B.S degree and offered the Pharm. D. exclusively which required 6 years of college after high school or 2 to 3 years after a 4 year B.S. in regular undergraduate college. You must be referring to 4 years after another college degree. In any event, a Pharm. D. adds up to a minimum of 6 years of college. Rich I had two ex-pharmacists in my dental class.. > Both degrees take the same time to complete.

We had a pharmacist in our class, he got bored to death counting pills so he went to dental school. BTW these are seperate degree programs, you still need some college to get into pharmacy school. -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com We also had a mortician and a veterinarian too... > >Both degrees take the same time to complete.

My friend was in pharmacy and applied every year to medicine and dentistry as he was repeatedly rejected. He finally got into medicine. > Both degrees take the same time to complete.

I think the DS sees it as a sign of maturity if you are working towards a degree which could help you gain employment. Signature~+--~+--~+--~+--~+-- Stephen [What's a Temporary?], D.D.S.

When I was in Pharmacy school, the general perception and popularly held belief was that it was difficult for candidates with Pharmacy degrees to get in to medical/dental schools because admission boards for these schools felt that pharmacists already had a profession and a way to make a living. It sounds like an urban myth to me know but that is how it felt back in the 70's. Rich I think there was an ex pharm in our class too. I thought schools would accept them to have a variety of people's backgrounds in the profession. They might be good for dental product research too. I think we had people with accounting degrees and I had math. ares > >>Yes you can. My friend was in pharmacy and applied every year to medicine > >>and dentistry as he was repeatedly rejected.
