Does any body know how many years you have to be in college to become a Pharmacist??

Question

I wanna become a pharmacist but i dont know how many years i have to go to college to become one. I heard it was like 6 years but that is too much. iz there a way i can graduate maybe 5years or 4?????

Answer 1

You can graduate faster than the usual time only if you have enough credits and the right courses. Its probably possible to do it in a year less, but two is probably pushing it. I've heard 6 years as well. That said, if you don't well in some courses, it could end up taking 7 or 8 years. And to do it in less time, you will have to work harder.

If you aren't wanting to commit and sacrifice a couple more years for your carreer, maybe it isnt the right job for you?

Answer 2

2 years

Answer 3

Hi Irina,
if you want to be a Pharmacist and graduate in 5 years you can study in Germany or any Europ Country, that i know about your question.

Kindest Regards

Answer 4

It takes alot less time than going to medical school. My friend went to a regular university, then to a 2 year program; and now she is making big bucks on a kick-back job.

Answer 5

Six years, you have to attend regular courses (Biology Major typically) then apply to Pharmacy School. Here's some great info: http://stats.bls.gov/oco/ocos079.htm#training
