    Hello,
    Does Duke University offer Bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy or Pharmaceutical Chemistry? I hold a BSc in Chemistry and would want to move towards pharmacy.
    What’s your advice?
    Thank you.

    • Hyun Lee June 28, 2025 at 2:43 pm - Reply

      Hello, if you’ve already hold a Bachelor’s degree, I would go for a Master’s program instead of doing a second Bachelor’s. Pharmacy in USA is a professional graduate degree like medicine and dentistry, so keep that in mind. They will also have nonprofessional degree like biomedical chemistry or pharmaceutical chemistry
