How will a college schedule look like? and what classes would i take for the 1st year in college for pharmacy?

Question

What time would i need to get up and go home?

How many classes would i take for the first year?

What classes?

is it only monday to friday?

Can you please give an example of a schedule for a pharmacy class as a freshmen in college. Kindly describe the days and time. What classes would be taken. thanks

Answer 1

First of all, you make up the schedule.

You can take up to 18 credits (six classes @ 3 hours each)

Talk to your academic adviser- MAKE SURE YOU WORK WITH HIM OR HER!

Sometimes Saturday class is offered, but rare.

Finally, you are not a major in Pharmacy as an undergrad.  You take coursework eventually leading to a major, like Chemistry.  Prior to graduation as an undergrad, then you start looking at schools that offer Pharmacy.

As for days and times- the school I work at its earliest class starts at 730 am, and the latest class is at 700 pm.

Answer 2

if you go to a college with a semester system you'll typically be taking 5 classes that are 3 credits each (15 credits is considered a full load) and you'll only switch schedules once during the whole year. if you're college has a quarter system you'll usually be taking 3 classes that are 3 or 4 credits each and you'll switch schedules twice during the year.

most classes on a semester system are 2-3 days a week. at my school most monday, wednesday, friday courses were usually 50 minutes in length while tuesday, thursday classes were 1 hr 20min long. first class for most people was at 9 - though there were people who chose to have classes as early as 7:30 but there aren't very many even offered before 9am. and the bulk of the classes didn't go past 4.

there were no weekend classes offered at the university i went to. and like the person above said, you won't be taking "pharmacy" classes until you're in pharmacy school. you'll take undergrad courses in chem probably. and your freshman year, you usually take the basic classes - math, science, english, elective, and maybe one class pertaining to your major... but most people don't even start taking their major classes until junior year.
