As a pharmacist, it will be your job not only to dispense drugs prescribed by doctors to your customers, but also to advise doctors on dosages and the effects of medication. Today, pharmacists are also becoming more involved in counseling patients and planning drug therapy programs. The pharmaceutical business is booming, with researchers discovering new drugs for a variety of ailments every day. At Oklahoma City Community College, you can earn an associate degree in chemistry with a pre-pharmacy option. Then, you’ll be ready to transfer to a four-year college or university to complete any additional prerequisites before applying to a college of pharmacy.
