Bachelor in Pharmaceutical Sciences Program Information

AACP Resource

This survey is intended to collect information about Bachelor of Science (BS) or Arts (BA) programs housed in colleges and schools of pharmacy, including BS in Pharmaceutical Sciences (BSPS) programs. The information collected will help quantify and document the emergence and characteristics of these programs, which serve as important pipelines for the biomedical workforce and a valuable learner pool for pharmacy schools. 

If there are more than one BS or BA programs in your college or school of pharmacy, please submit a separate response for each program.

For the purpose of this survey, a BS or BA program is a four-year degree program grounded in the basic sciences that educates learners in specialized coursework and topics in the pharmaceutical sciences, including pharmaceutics, medicinal chemistry, drug design, formulation and delivery, pharmacology and toxicology, regulatory science and health outcomes. This survey is intended to gather information about BS and BA programs that are administered by the college or school of pharmacy, including both stand-alone programs and combined BS or BA/PharmD programs. Other BS or BA programs that are administered through the university or another college or school within the university should not be included. 

If there are any questions about the survey or the eligibility of your BS program for inclusion in the survey, please contact Johnnie Early at johnnie.early@famu.edu. The results of this survey will be shared as a poster or presentation at the 2026 American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) annual meeting.
