Professional students may be eligible to receive the Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences (BSPS) degree. The degree will be awarded to students who successfully complete all Professional Prerequisite Courses and selected courses, the ULM Common Core Curriculum and Professional Courses totaling 55 hours in the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D) program. The purpose of awarding this degree is to recognize the achievement of these students when they have earned credit hours in an amount comparable to that of students receiving other baccalaureate degrees and to give appropriate recognition for their academic accomplishment to that point in the educational process. Students who have received a previous bachelor’s degree are not eligible for the BSPS degree.

The undergraduate Toxicology program consists of a four-year curriculum which includes a solid foundation in basic sciences, a broad background in the science of Toxicology with several highly specialized courses, and sufficient courses in other areas to provide the student with a well-rounded education. The concept of a broad background with certain specialized courses is intended to allow the graduate to fit into any of several aspects of toxicology, including industrial hazard control, environmental pollution control, product safety assessment, forensic toxicology and toxicology research. The Toxicology major can also be used to fulfill the Pharmacy admission requirements for the ULM College of Pharmacy. Students pursuing admission to Pharmacy School will use the electives in the Pharmacy topic area. Doing so will allow students to complete the Pharmacy admission requirements and Toxicology, B.S.(261004)  degree requirements simultaneously. Students not interested in Pharmacy School can choose nine (9) hours from any of the approved electives listed in the Academic Catalog.

If a student at any time should decide against pursuing admission to Pharmacy School or fails to be admitted, the student may choose to continue to pursue a Toxicology undergraduate degree or choose to pursue a degree other than Toxicology.
