When Rachell Landaeta started searching for an affordable online undergraduate program, she had one clear goal in mind—to prepare for pharmacy school. A simple Google search led her to Logan University’s Bachelor of Science in Human Biology (BSHB) program, and from there, her path to becoming a pharmacist began to take shape.
“I was impressed by the structure, the accelerated pace, and how well it aligned with my long-term goals,” Rachell said
Rachell enrolled in the fall of 2023, transferring many of her general studies credits from another university, and graduated in April 2025. She said the program’s fast-paced, eight-week courses were a welcome challenge and perfectly suited to her busy life.
“My experience was extremely positive,” she said. “I loved the pace of the program—it was challenging in the best way—and it allowed me to work full time while still accomplishing my goals.”
One of the highlights for Rachell was the support she received from faculty and staff throughout her time at Logan.
“My favorite part of the program was how responsive the faculty and instructors were,” she said. “Whenever I faced an issue, my academic advisor and instructors were so quick to respond. They genuinely cared about my success.”
That compassion became especially meaningful during her final semester, when Rachell faced a major health challenge that left her grieving and unsure if she’d be able to finish.
“My instructors were incredibly understanding and treated me with empathy and grace during my recovery,” she said. “They gave me the flexibility I needed to heal and still complete my degree on time.”
After earning her BSHB, Rachell took the next big step of applying for pharmacy school. She was accepted into all six schools she applied to, something she credits to the preparation she received at Logan.
“The program provided me with the skills and resources not just to apply to pharmacy school, but to be accepted into every one of them,” she said. “It gave me the confidence to take that leap.”
Now deep into her studies toward a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD), Rachell jokes that her “brain is mush” but says she’s loving every second of the learning process. Her long-term goal is to work in the pharmaceutical industry, focusing on drug development and research.
Looking back, Rachell says she’s grateful for the support and foundation Logan provided.
“I really value my time at Logan and would recommend it to anyone interested in a career in medicine or healthcare,” she said.
