Pharmacology and Toxicology, BS

Pharmacology and toxicology is an undergraduate major offered through the School of Pharmacy;  successful completion of program requirements leads to the Bachelor of Science–Pharmacology and Toxicology degree. Pre–pharmacology/toxicology studies involve the completion of at least 60 credits and the fulfillment of all prerequisite coursework. This typically takes two academic years (i.e., freshman and sophomore years) to complete. Prerequisite coursework can be done at UW–Madison or at most accredited colleges and universities.  The School of Pharmacy website provides information regarding which courses at various colleges and universities fulfill Wisconsin's pre–pharmacology/toxicology course requirements. Questions about the transferability of courses from any college or university to  UW–Madison can be addressed to the School of Pharmacy Undergraduate Admissions Office (admissions@pharmacy.wisc.edu) or, for students at UW–Madison, to the pre–School of Pharmacy advisor. At UW–Madison, pre–pharmacology/toxicology students usually enroll in the College of Letters & Science; however, their advisor is the pre-School of Pharmacy advisor whose office is located at the School of Pharmacy. It is important to plan a sound program and to stay up-to-date with admission requirements and program changes.
