Pharmacy courses are the basis for the six-year pharmacy curriculum which may be completed in four additional years at the professional pharmacy school and university.
Increasing competition for entrance into the professional pharmacy school requires that the student should maintain an above average grade point average during the freshman and sophomore years. Some professional pharmacy schools also require that the Pharmacy College Admission Test be taken during the sophomore year.
Pharmacists who are trained in the United States must earn a Pharm.D. degree from an accredited college or school of pharmacy. The Pharm.D. degree has replaced the Bachelor of Pharmacy degree, which is no longer being awarded. To be admitted to a Pharm.D. program, an applicant must have completed at least 2 years of specific professional study. This requirement generally includes courses in mathematics and natural sciences, such as chemistry, biology, and physics, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences. In addition, most applicants have completed 3 or more years at a college or university before moving on to a Pharm.D. program, although this is not specifically required.
