In the U.S., the B.S. in Pharmacy does not exist anymore. It was a 5 year degree.
The PharmD allows you to practice pharmacy. It is the only available degree. It takes a minimum of 6 years to complete.

assoc is a 2yr college degree bach 4yr masters is typically 2 yrs beyond bachelors degree and is just focusing on becoming an expert in whatever field of work you do a doctoral degree is above this, its also becoming an expert in your field but in order to obtain the degree you have to do years of reasearch and present it to a panel of professors that will determine if you get the degree, along with an exam you must pass a certificate degree is kind of like an assoc degree and is usually a steo to getting a bachelors degree. like cops that dont go to college but just go to an academy would get a certificate.. or like a beauty school would give you a certificate

A BS is a four year degree from a college. It might qualify you to be a pharmacist in a drug store or works as a technician at a drug manufacturer.
A Doctorate in Pharmacy is a graduate degree taking four to six years beyond the BS. It involves doing independent research and qualifies you to teach, or to do research to create or test new drugs. It would pay a lot more than the BS.

A B.S. in pharmacy (like the one at UCSD) prepares you for pharmacy school, but it does not allow you to practice pharmacy. A Pharm.D. degree allows you to practice pharmacy.
