Pharmacognosy Curriculum

Students entering the graduate program in pharmacognosy may have undergraduate degrees that satisfy all the prerequisites for these programs. However, in some instances the graduate program director will need to assign appropriate undergraduate courses to ensure that students are properly prepared for the graduate courses in their particular program.

Pre-requisites (all tracks)

Each student must present transfer credit, earn advanced placement credit by examination (the Qualifying Exams) or obtain credit in the following:

2 semesters of Calculus
2 semesters of Organic Chemistry with laboratory
1 semester of Analytical Chemistry
1 semester of Literature of Chemistry
1 semester of English Composition
1 semester of Organismal or Population Biology
1 semester of Cell Biology or Biochemistry
1 semester of Statistics
