Liberal Arts And Science Pre-Pharmacy - Camden County College

Liberal Arts And Science Pre-Pharmacy from Camden County College is a Campus Associate Pharmacy degree that prepares you for a Healthcare career. Prospective pharmacists should have scientific aptitude, good communication skills, and a desire to help others. They also must be conscientious and pay close attention to detail because the decisions they make affect human lives. Very good employment opportunities are expected for pharmacists over the 2002-12 period because the number of degrees granted in pharmacy are expected to be less than the number of job openings created by employment growth and the need to replace pharmacists who retire or otherwise leave the occupation. Recently, enrollments in pharmacy programs are rising as more students are attracted by high salaries and good job prospects. Despite this increase in enrollments, pharmacist jobs should still be more numerous than those seeking employment.
