Pharmacy - Chemistry


A 3+3 affiliation agreement with the Lake Erie College of Medicine’s School of Pharmacy (LECOM) would give the students in SRU’s Biochemistry program a pharmacy option.  Students selecting this option would receive a B.S. degree in Chemistry (Biochemistry Concentration) after completing the first year of a 3-year doctoral program at LECOM.  Twenty-seven credits, including 9 in chemistry, 4 in biology, and 6 in liberal studies, would be transferred from LECOM to SRU at that time.  Please read the Pharmacy – Biology option for further details on admission requirements, etc.

Biochemistry students, who choose the pharmacy option, would complete nearly the same curriculum at SRU as those who do not choose the pharmacy option.  Computer Science (130 or 140), required in our current Biochemistry program, is replaced by Elementary Statistics (Math 114) in the pharmacy option.

All courses from LECOM transfer to the B.S. Chemistry program – Biochemistry/Pharmacy option.  Four LECOM courses replace four SRU courses from our current Biochemistry program.  The SRU courses are Microbiology (Biol 333), Cell Biology (Biol 335), Molecular Biology (Biol 370) and either Analytical Chemistry (Chem 350, 351) or Instrumental Analysis (Chem 425, 426).

Required courses at SRU:


Biology Courses - Credits: 8


Mathematics Courses - Credits: 11


Physics Courses - Credits: 7
