A student will complete a four year pharmacy program and will be awarded the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree upon graduation. A pharmacy graduate may choose to complete an optional post-graduate residency (one to three years) or enter directly into pharmacy practice, e.g., community (retail), compounding, consultant (nursing home), hospital, nuclear, etc.
A pharmacy graduate must complete internship requirements and pass the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination, or NAPLEX, and an additional state exam before they can acquire a license to practice pharmacy in that state. The NAPLEX was created by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP).

depends on the program, but generallly pharmacy school is 3 to 6 years. You need undergraduate studies, then you study for the pharmacy degree, and then finally you do your fieldwork.
There are programs out there that are 3 years long, and there are programs that are 6 years long (two year undergrad studies and 4 years of major study)

try not to lump pre-Pharmacy and Pharmacy into one yearly total.
Once you are accepted into Pharmacy school, it is either 3 or 4 years......depending on which school you attend.
How long does it take to get in can vary wildly.
