1. If you're husband is planning on going to pharmacy school, the earliest you can apply is for next year. applications will be out in June. most pharmacy schools require the standard application (found at www.pharmcas.org) and other supplimental applications, not to mention application fees as wall.
2. Most schools require the PCATs, if he's applying next year- he's still able to take them coming June, August, and October. I've taken them twice- it's fairly challenging. lots of Bio, chem, verbal, reading comprehension, math, and essay. here's the website where you can register to take the test. if you look at www.pharmcas.org, it's a great website where you can research schools and it'll tell you if the school requires the PCATs, minimum score needed...
3. Tuituon usually depends on the school. if there's a pharmacy school instate, it shouldn't be too bad. i'm from maryland, and i'll be attending UMB- and i can tell you that pharmacy school is cheaper than both Med school and Dentistry. Scholarships and federal aid is offered. But, i think most schools may be need-based.
4. schools last 4 years. there are a couple schools that last 3, where it's year-round.
5. when you go to pharmacy school, you come out with a Pharm.D However, there are some schools that have joint programs (that require further applications). For example, UMB has joint MBA, master of public health, and Ph D programs as well.
6. there are a lot of good schools in california. the top 10 schools tend to be in a city environment (UMB is #8).
the following website should help with school searches, income, tuituion and other factors- It's the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. Good Luck! http://www.aacp.org/site/page.asp?TrackID=&VID=1&CID=29&DID=3022

lemme see if I can answer these in order:
- different schools have different appliaction deadlines. Typically you apply before mid-January....interviews in early February......decisions late in the month. CHECK for exact dates at the schools you want to apply for in the fall. They will likely demand deposits that are not refundable if you are accepted and decline to attend. Be careful.
- absolutely he should take the PCAT. Most require it. All like to see the results.
- I don't know how you define expensive. Where I live we have a public college of Pharmacy (about 7 k per year) and a private one (about 25 K per year). I don't know what out-of-state tuition runs at the public one. There are some scholarships at the public schools, but they are usually small enough to just defray the costs. Your husband might be able to get a future employer to pay for tuition in excahnge for a corresponding number of years of indentured servitude.
- school lasts between 3 (year-round) and 4 (traditional) years.
-essentially all that is offered now is the PharmD degree. I hear that the B.S. is still offered, but I can't tell you where.
Whcih school you go to means nothing, unless you intend on being in academia. Of course, choice of residencies makes all the difference then.
How much you get paid varies wildy according to where you live. Not surprisingly, the average pharmacist in Southern California makes a great deal more than the average pharmacist in Northern Louisiana. Where I live (Utah), the going rate is in the low 50's per hour.
No links.....just the straight story. Links are for people that are not speaking from experience.

1. You can start applying through PharmCas in about August.
2. Some schools require PCAT, and it is already fairly late to sign up. There are three this year, and two are during the summer and one in October.
3. Tuition is very expensive. My public school is $16K tuition and fees per years. Private schools are easily double that. There are scholarships. However, some of them require you to go work for that company after you graduate.
4. School lasts for 4 years.
5. You have a choice of PharmD and PharmD.
6. No one cares about what school you went to. Top schools include: UCSF, University of FL, UIC, Purdue, UWM, and OSU.
7. The average starting salary is about 100k.

once you assert you have been out of school for ten years, what college do you advise? maximum pharmacy faculties require a BS diploma. Even without the college diploma the minimum requirement is someplace in the community of seventy two semester gadgets. those front standards are heavy on the mathematics and sciences. Pharmacy college itself is math and technology yet there is not any blood and guts, no animal sorting out The occupation itself is relative worthwhile
