Hey Clarissa! Assuming you're looking to become a licensed pharmacist, you would pursue a PharmD program, or a Doctorate in Pharmacy.


For reference, I've linked a starter guide from Purdue University's College of Pharmacy program (ranked top 10 according to Pharmacy Times and U.S. News): https://www.pharmacy.purdue.edu/future-students/programs


I hope that helps! Let us know if you have more questions.

Hi! It might be worth looking into the undergraduate colleges near you and see if they may have a program with a pharmacy school in place that would allow you to go for to undergrad for 2 years, then progress to the 4 years of pharmacy school. For instance, I know many people who went to their undergraduate college for 2 years for a major of health sciences with pre-pharmacy concentration - after those 2 years they apply to a pharmacy school, and credits earned in pharmacy school go towards your bachelor in health sciences as well as your PharmD! There are also plenty of people who got a 4 year bachelors in science and progressed to their PharmD program. Academic advisors at your college would also be a great resource to direct you towards which major to pursue to fulfill any prerequisites for pharmacy school.
