Answer:
The Doctor of Pharmacy program is a four year program including three years of classwork and one year of internships. Pharmacy programs require 2-4 years of prerequisites, so all pharmacists have gone through 6-8 years of school. Most complete a bachelors degree before pharmacy school, so most have had 8 years of science and pharmacy education. Many pharmacists go on to complete a 1-2 year residency, and others pursue a PhD.
