Graduate Study
Students with a pharmacy degree, or with a baccalaureate in another science-based discipline, can pursue graduate work in one of pharmacy's several scientific disciplines at one of 61 colleges of pharmacy and earn a master of science (M.S.) and/or doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) degree. The M.S. and Ph.D. degrees are research-oriented degrees and do not prepare the student to become a licensed pharmacy practitioner.
For more information on pharmacy schools, an excellent resource is Pharmacy School Admission Requirements. This source is updated annually and provides a wealth of information on applying to pharmacy school, as well as individual school requirements. The Center for Prehealth Resources has a copy of this publication.
