How do I get into a Pharmacy school?

Need advice. I would like to study pharmacy. I graduated with a BS degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing. The only science course I took was in an introduction to Chemistry. What should I do to go to Pharmacy school? Should I go back and get another BS degree in science, biology, chemistry? What's a good school to go to? Please advise.

1. I believe you just need to take the required preparation course to apply to a pharmacy school. Since you already have a bachelor degree , I think you can take the required preparation courses at a junior college. the prep coures take about 2 years to complete. The list of courses are: General chemistry Organic chemistry Anatomy Physiology Microbiology English Speech/Public Speaking Calculus Biology Economics Electives in Humanities, Social & Behavioral Science Pharmacy schools usually require for admissions: required prep courses Bachelor degree Test- GRE I think
2. You'll just need to take the prereq courses for pharmacy. It takes 2-3 years of full-time college to complete them.
