    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, aspiring pharmacists earn a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree. Applicants to a Pharm.D. program must have completed a minimum of two years of specific professional undergraduate study. In addition, Pharm.D. programs take approximately four years to complete. A pharmacist requires six to eight or more years of education.
