In the USA all colleges of Pharmacy grant the Doctor of Pharmacy degree (PharmD) which is a four year course of study.

Some Pharmacy colleges require that the students finish a Bachelor's degree before applying, while others require only that a student attend an undergraduate college and complete the required prerequisite courses with a very high GPA. Many schools require the PCAT exam.

You can learn more about pharmacy in the USA by checking the website of the Association of American Colleges of Pharmacy AACP which has links to the detailed websites of every accredited American school of pharmacy.

Pharmacy in the US is a very highly paid profession, so the competition to get into pharmacy schools is very tough. Some schools may list minimal GPA or other standards for admission, but in most cases it would not be good enough to meet the minimal standards. That would not gain admission. You would need to be much better than minimally qualified to get into most pharm schools. In our local school there were 1000 well qualified applicants for 90 seats, according to an article in our local paper.

You need to check the licensing board for each state. See what their requirements are for foreign pharmacists.
