Thanks, I edited my post for accuracy. I should have been more clear.
Pharm is a minimum of 5 years, every school requires 1 full year(likely 2) of preprofessional studies as BCs with courses related to Pharmacy. Nursing, while only a 4 year program, often requires a minimum of 48 credits(2 full years) to be taken as part of a BCs before applying to the School of Nursing. I know there are other schools which have direct entry programs, I was using the Universities closest to me as reference as the UTPNCM instructions cite them as the schools I should be applying too. So my question was more about applying for UTPNCM to get my BSN, but my university application would be for a BSc, with the intent of moving into the BSN program (upon acceptance).
