There are about 80 schools of pharmacy in the USA. There is a list on the website of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. You do not have to have a BA or BS to apply to most of them, but you do have to complete the prerequisites - usually chemistry, biology, organic chemistry, biochemistry, anatomy and calculus or advanced statistics. Many schools require the PCAT test scores.
The tuition and fees will be quite different depending on which school you go to.
Admission to most pharmacy colleges is getting very competitive. In our local state university they received over 1000 applications for 90 seats in the college, according to an article in our local paper. You have to be a good student with excellent references to be admitted. And, of course, you must have an absolutely clean police record. No one can be a pharmacist who has been convicted of a crime or has a record of drug use.
