Prepharm programs still a go

 “Well, so much for spring.” -- every student in America

Graduate school. College. High School. It doesn’t matter where they are in school, students have had to distance themselves from campuses and classmates this spring. As the semester comes to an end, anxious eyes have turned to the summer. Travel, internships, jobs… many things have been cancelled. 

The MUSC College of Pharmacy announced today that prospective students should keep their plans to attend its summer programs, which will be held as scheduled. 

“We’ll make adjustments as needed to ensure we can offer an effective curriculum in a safe environment,” said Jenny Bagg, admissions manager. “These programs are an important resource for students who have to make big decisions now. You can’t wait for the pandemic to end when you’re planning for a post-pandemic future.”

The summer programs for prospective students include:
