St. Thomas Aquinas College will prepare you for a career as a pharmacist through our agreement with the Doctor of Pharmacy program at Long Island University. Students follow the STAC biology curriculum for the first two or three years and then transfer to Long Island University where they will complete the STAC requirements for the biology degree while concurrently completing their first year of the pharmacy program. After successful completion of the required number of transfer credits, students may apply for the bachelor’s degree from St. Thomas Aquinas College.
