If you decide you want to pursue pharmacy and law, several schools have joint PharmD/JD programs including USC in California, University of Maryland, and University of Florida. There is also a Master of Science in Regulatory Affairs degree.

If you want to practice law, you need to go to law school. A pharmacy degree is not needed to practice pharmaceutical law, but it might help.

You would still have to attend law school. You can go to law school with that degree but that degree is not required to practice pharmaceutical law. I just contacted a former student who had that degree and works in that area. She said most of her colleagues do not have that degree. I'm sure it will make you competitive if you're sure that's the area you like. Best wishes
