The Pre-Pharmacy Program

Our program is a non-degree program that provides the requirements for admission to most four-year Doctorate of Pharmacy programs. The program can be completed in two years and is especially tailored toward the University of Minnesota and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Colleges of Pharmacy. Pre-Pharmacy students at Winona State generally declare a major in biochemistry because the first two years of the Biochemistry Program match those of pre-pharmacy closely.
