I am planning on becoming a Pharmacist but I have some questions. Are there any schools in California that offer Pharmacy programs (0-6) or anything similar to it? Do I need to take the PCAT? Are there schools in the US that have a Pharmacy program of (0-6) or anything like it and I don’t need to take the PCAT? if so what are their outofstate tuition with dorms. is there any near California? i am looking for the cheapest one please. Thanks.
One of the best sources of information on pharmacy schools is the AACP - the American Association of Pharmacy Schools. Their website has a great deal of information on pharmacy schools and admission requirements. Here’s a link to their Admissions FAQ:

By the way, my recollection is that the CA pharmacy schools generally don’t use the PCAT for some reason. If you follow that link I inserted above, you can go to pages that are specific to the school your looking into. For example, Loma Linda does not require the PCAT, and states that their program is a 2+4 program, but that they prefer incoming students to have their baccalaureate degree.
