Enrollment
Students may begin the Pharmacy
Technology program in either the Fall or the Spring semester.
It may also be possible to start the program during the Summer session. Daytime and
evening classes are available during the Fall and Spring. Summer classes are offered in the
evenings only.
There is no separate admission procedure for
the Pharmacy Technology program. Interested students should first
apply for
admission to Santa Ana College. Once their applications have
been processed, students will be assigned a registration date.
On their registration date, students can
enroll in the individual Pharmacy Technology classes that they wish to
take.
A typical first semester schedule would include:
PHAR 048
PHAR 054
and
either
PHAR
051 (for Spring or Summer start students)
or
PHAR 052
(for Fall start students)
If
you have heavy work or family commitments, consider taking just one
class at a time!
If you plan to take just one class, the
best choice is PHAR 048 (Introduction).
Contact the Office of Admissions and
Records at (714) 564-6015 for information on application dates and
procedures. You can also
apply on-line for admission to the college.
