I just recently got married and I live in the little state of Delaware.There is not a college that offers a pharmacy program in Delaware. The closest school is two to four hours away. I work fulltime in a pharmacy now as a technician and I would like to better myself and become a pharmacist but it seems impossible. Could someone please aid me in the right direction?

That earlier response is a bit off. The journal "Communication Education", last summer, published a survey of employers regarding their attitudes toward online education. A degree that's earned entirely or primarily online is downgraded, reducing odds of employment by about 15%.
But in your case, you want to be a pharmacist--a profession that's in super-high demand, where the starting salaries are among the highest, and where there's no projection for slowing down because of the projected aging of America and the increased reliance on pharmaceuticals.
So where to study? I googled "online pharmacy degree" and several came up. Your best best is to find an online program that's offered by a traditional brick-and-mortar university--you'll have better guarantees of quality, the costs will be lower (even if you're out of state) if you choose a public university, and the transcript won't say "online" in every case.
University of Florida was one name that came up early; I confess I didn't look at the Google hits closely, but I can attest they're out there. So proceed and godspeed!

There are a lot of prerequisites for entering pharmacy school. Although you cannot become a pharmacist by an online degree, you can take some of the preliminary courses online or at UDelaware. You could take chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, biology, calculus, anatomy and physiology, and other courses there.
Why not decide what pharmacy college you might want to attend, look at their prerequisites, and then start on the courses at UD. Then in two or three years you could decide whether it is worth moving closer to Philly or some other spot with a pharmacy school.

The University of Florida program is for pharmacist who already have a bachelors and now want a PharmD.
There is only one somewhat online program and that is at Creighton.

I would highlly advise not using any online school to get a degree. It would be a waste of your money. You have to pay for those online schools and many HR or personnel companies don't hire people that come from online schools. It would be much much better if you could go to a traditional bricks and mortar university. Avoid online schools like the plague.
