<p>Are 6 year pharmacy really worth it? Which colleges/universities have the best 6 year pharmacy programs? Also how high or low are the acceptance rates? </p>

<p>If you are absolutely sure you want to be a pharmacist, then a direct entry 6 year program can be great. It’s 2 less years of school than what’s becoming the norm of 8 years. It’s 2 years sooner you can get out and start earning. I’m not sure what schools still have 6 year programs- I’m sure a google search will turn up your options.</p>

<p>Please note that many schools have what are essentially 2+4 programs, which aren’t listed as 0-6 year programs. They admit students into the general undergrad population and, assuming that they maintain required GPA’s and course requirements, are admitted into the School of Pharmacy after 2 years of undergrad. I’m not sure where these schools are listed, but they include Michigan and Pitt. These programs might be called Conditional Acceptance or Guaranteed Early Admission or some such terminology. Check with whatever pharmacy schools you’re interested in to see if they have such a program in place. </p>
