Pharmacy Technician
Program Information
Pharmacy technicians help licensed pharmacists prepare prescription medications, provide customer service, and perform administrative duties within a pharmacy setting. Pharmacy technicians generally are responsible for receiving prescription requests, counting tablets, and labeling bottles. They may perform administrative functions such as answering phones, stocking shelves, and operating cash registers. The Associate of Science (AS) in Pharmacy Technician degree program is designed for employment
and for transfer to bachelor's degree in Healthcare Leadership and Administration.
It will transfer in its entirety to Winona State University. It may transfer in part or in its entirety to other baccalaureate institutions. Students should meet with a representative of the transfer institution or obtain a current catalog from the transfer institution when planning their program. For consideration into the Pharm-D prerequisite rotation at the
University of Minnesota, students must complete additional courses in addition
to the AS degree. For assistance in program planning, or to explore additional transfer options, students should schedule a time to meet with an academic advisor.
Developmental Courses
Some students may need preparatory courses in the areas of English, reading or mathematics. Courses numbered below 1000 will not apply toward this degree.
