Pharmacy Technology
The Pharmacy Technology Associate of Applied Science degree combines the elements of the Certificate program with additional pharmacy technology courses and general education courses to promote overall student development and enhance the knowledge base required for upper level positions in pharmacy technology. Graduates may be eligible for teaching positions in pharmacy technology programs, and many continue their education to become pharmacists. Some students elect to take the PTCE after successful completion of the third semester and work as a pharmacy technician while completing the last two semesters.
