The completion of two years of college work is required for admission to the colleges in the university. The following courses offered at Minnesota West meet the requirements for entrance to the College of Pharmacy at the University of Minnesota. The program can be adjusted to meet the requirements at other colleges of pharmacy. This meets the Associate of Science degree requirements. Students are encouraged to complete the Associate of Arts degree and the MnTC if they plan to attend the University of Minnesota. A year of college-level world language or second language proficiency may be required by some schools and is highly desired when seeking employment.
