<p>Schools like Rutgers offers a 6 year pharm.D program which allows the student to directly enter a pharmacy school without taking any pre-pharm classes. So I am looking for more schools that offer undergraduate pharmacy schools... </p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>Actually, the Parm.D is the degree you need to be a pharmacist.</p>
<p>The total education required to be a pharmacist is 6 years.</p>
<p>The only other school I know of that offers a Pharm.D is Albany College of Pharmacy. . . (my dad went there)</p>
<p>All pharmacy schools offer PharmD as the entry level and only degree. If you are asking about schools that offer admission directly from high school to pharmacy school, another one is Duquesne University in Pittsburgh.</p>
<p>Northeastern University (in boston) has a really good pharmacy program that takes 6 years (maybe 5 i'm not sure) to complete. Also, you have to complete 3 mandatoy co-op cycles meaning u will get work experience before u graduate. Pharmacy is one of the more competitive programs at Northeastern (the others are enginerring, physical therapy, and computers) so if u are interested, u should apply early action (before november 15th).</p>
<p>thank you~</p>
<p>What is everyone's opinion on Nova's Pharmacy program?</p>
<p>Here are some of my stats, if they help:
Senior for 2006
Old SATs: 1280
New SATs: 1830 (ouch, I know!)</p>
<p>Grades: S8 A's, UW GPA: 3.96, W GPA: 4.65</p>
<p>All honors, 1 AP in junior yr.: AP Chemistry</p>
<p>Volunteer at Library and Hospital
Take part in TAB, SADD, MAO, NHS, blah....</p>
<p>Rank:8 out of 700something</p>
<p>What I'm asking is if Nova is a good school, b/c I'm getting bad word about the school....</p>
<p>UOP has a 5 year program? (University of the Pacific, in Stockton, CA)</p>
<p>I have a friend who is going into pharmacy stuff, she is at UGA, you might want to look into that. I know she also looked into SUNY-Buffalo.</p>
<p>At most schools, Pharmacy is a 6 year degree. At most of them, you have to get in, complete 2 years and then apply to the program.</p>
<p>Check out the following schools:</p>
<p>Purdue University-West Lafayette
University of Arizona
University of Kentucky
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill
University of Texas-Austin
University of Wisconsin-Madison</p>
<p>I know I am missing a couple, but that's a good start.</p>
<p>university of iowa has a pretty good pharmacy program too.
i think its more realistic for your stats than some of alexandre's recs (i.e. i would rule out texas, wisconsin, michigan and north carolina)</p>
<p>The City, the OP did not give his/her stats, which is why I listed schools that cover the selectivity spectrum. </p>
<p>As for Bio_Freak, a top 1% class ranking and 4.0 unweighed GPA makes her/him vrery competitive. A 1280/1830 is low and needs to be bumped up. But if it is bumped up to say 2000, I would say all of the schools I listed are realistic.</p>
<p>oh whoops, i didnt read the login names, i though they were teh same person, and i just mentioned that based on the SAT...looking back at the gpa.. your right, they arent entirely unrealistic, especially if any of them are in-state.</p>

<p>The above is a link to pharmacy schools in the US. All are now "graduate" programs as they require 6 years for a PharmD. The 5 year degree was a bachelors degree, and I think PharmD is now the only degree offered. A few of them, such as Duquesne, offer admission directly from high school for qualified students. Otherwise, you must complete two years of basic prepharm classes and then apply to pharmacy school, which is a little added risk.</p>
<p>If you know you want to practice in California or Florida, you will have to take the licensing exam in that state, because those are the only two that do not offer license reciprocity. That might also be something to consider if you want to take your exam in the state you went to school (this is certainly not required, but many people do).</p>
