Pharmacy courses vary depending on the school.
My brother finished his and it was about 1.5 years. There was another school that was less expensive but took 2 years.
Pharmacist is a really well paying career. Espeically considering the amount of education required isnt that much really.

In the U.S., it takes 4 years to get a PharmD on top of the prePharmacy requirements.
As long as you have the required prereqs, you can, in theory, get accepted.
There are accelerated PharmD programs for B.Pharms, but I don't know if they accept foreign degrees. A number of those programs are being shut down because of lack of interest.
It is next to impossible for a non U.S. citizen/permanent resident to get accepted into pharmacy college for a direct PharmD program. You won't qualify for any financial aid.
U.S. PharmD graduates just have to take the NAPLEX and MBJE before becoming licensed.
