You would need a bachelors of science in Pharmacy. To find out what classes you would need check with your local community college to start- and also check out schools that specialize in Pharmacy degrees.

its 6 years minimum. as of about 5 years ago you cant become a pharmacist with a bachealors as somebody said you could, you need a Pharm.D (doctor of pharmacy degree) which takes 2-4 (most schools say you only need 2, but some require or will give you preference if you have 3-4) years of prepharmacy, and then you apply to pharmacy school which is 4 years long. as for what classes you need to take, figure out the prepharmacy requirments for the pharmacy schools you want to apply for, they vary school to school but will likely be a lot of chemistry and biology.

It takes a minimum of 5-6 years of college now. You will need to focus strongly on classes in chemistry and biological sciences.
Good luck.
(Contact your state college of pharmacy. They should have a very informative website. Pharmacists are in short supply in many states...)

I believe it is typically a 5 year degree. Math and chemistry would be helpful.
