How necessary is it to have a 4-year degree?
Submitted by: AdministratorYES; The one thing that every drug rep has in common is a 4-year college degree or higher. Even an RN without a BS degree won't get in.
A 4-year degree is a prerequisite if you want to be a pharmaceutical sales representative. I don't want to sugar-coat things -- if you don't have a 4-year college degree, you have very weak prospects of becoming a pharmaceutical sales rep regardless of what your work experience is.
Even RN's with 10 years experience and an Associate's degree must obtain their 4-year bachelor's degree in order to meet the minimum qualifications.
I get all kinds of hate mail, blah blah blah, etc for stating this. I do not make up the rules; it is what it is.
