Transfer Programs

The Biology/Chemistry Department offers programs specifically for transfer to programs not available on our campus. These include two programs, Agriculture and Pre-Pharmacy.

Agriculture
Purdue North Central does not offer a Bachelor Degree in Agriculture. However, students may elect to complete a general suggested one-year course of study (PDF - requires Adobe Acrobat Reader) at Purdue North Central before transferring to a West Lafayette Campus program.

Pre-Pharmacy
Pharmacy majors may only be completed at Purdue's West Lafayette Campus. Admission to the Doctor of Pharmacy program requires a two-year sequence of pre-requisites (PDF) which may be taken at Purdue North Central. Completion of these pre-requisites does not guarantee admission to the School of Pharmacy.
