    I know someone that went to Albany College of Pharmacy in Albany, NY and they did a 6 year program. I dont know if that is something that particular college offers or if it is a set program for all. Sorry, dont know about the PHarm D Degree thing.

    It’s five where I am in Canada. You make excellent money as a Pharmasict, but you also have to work hard in school. It’s worth it.

    It used to be five years, but now most programs have moved to a sex year program of undergraduate studies. I would suggest you look at the programs you are most interested in attending and see what they require.

    Good Luck!!!

    In the United States the Pharm. D. (Doctor of Pharmacy) degree is a first-professional degree or professional doctorate that prepares the graduate for pharmacy practice. The multidisciplinary curriculum may focus on pharmacy-biomedical sciences, pharmaceutical sciences, social and administrative sciences, clinical sciences and experiential training. Entrance into a Pharm. D. program generally does not require prior completion of a college degree, although the majority of accepted applicants hold one. Typically, it takes a minimum of six academic years after high school graduation to complete the Pharm. D. program.
