how long is pharmacy school?

The actual program is 6 years long total. (This includes 2 years of pre-pharm classes then 3-3.5 yrs of pharmacy class work and then 0.5-1 yr of clinical rotations-all depends on the school you pick). Upon graduation you will have a doctor of pharmacy degree (PharmD). Many graduates go on to enroll in a residency program or a fellowship, both of which are optional.

Pharmacy school is 6 years. Pharmacy students have to have 4 years of pre-med. It will help if u get a job working at a pharmmacy before you go though, cause a lot of people go then decide that it isnt the right career for them

In the U.S., you have to do a minimum of 2 years of undergraduate prereqs. The length of the pharmacy program is 4 years. Most people will spend 6-8 years in school to become a pharmacist.

depends on where you go...usually 2 years of pre-reqs before you get into the school of choice, then 3 or 4 years in the pharmacy program.
