Steve’s Answer

There are pharmacy schools like St. John's University in New York where it's a direct program. It's called a 0-6 program where no undergraduate degree is required and students finish the program in 6 years.
Pharmacy schools also have accelerated programs where you get your degree at a faster rate like at Massachusetts college of pharmacy

Dianna’s Answer

Pharmacy school is becoming more competitive. Some schools may not require a Bachelors degree, but all the schools I applied to did require a Bachelors.


Assuming everything goes according to plan, you don't have to remediate, or take any sort of leave of absence, and only counting the time needed to complete a PharmD program, it takes about 4 years to obtain a PharmD. There are some schools that go year round and only take 3 years for a PharmD.


Hope that helps! Please feel free to ask any follow-up questions :)

Katherine’s Answer

The time it takes is not nearly as important as your grades and the PCAT scores do take your time with undergrad studies to ensure good grades
