Should you get a BA for a six year pharmacy college?
In the US, a pharmacy degree has always been a five- or six-year degree which begins right after high-school. So, then, a bachelors degree, first, typically isn't necessary. In the old days, it was a typically six-year-long "Bachelor of Pharmacy" or "Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy" degree; but the accreditor of all the pharmacy schools has changed the nomenclature such that it's now called a "Doctor of Pharmacy" (PharmD) degree. It is, however, a professional, and not an academic degree, and so it's not really at the academic doctoral level. It is, in fact, four years of undergraduate, or undergraduate-plus-post-baccalaureate-level study that begins immediately after a two-year academic associates degree. So, then, it's not an academic four-year bachelors degree that one needs before entering pharmacy school; but, rather, an academic two-year associates degree... ...then, from there, one enters the four-year "PharmD" program. A full six-year "PharmD" program may be entered right out of high school; or one may get one's associates degree (or finish the freshman and sophomore years of a bachelors degree) and then enter the four-year "PharmD" program. Either way will work. Of course, some people don't like the idea of never having gotten a proper bachelors degree before getting the PharmD degree. In that case, then, yes, one goes ahead and gets one's bachelors degree... on pretty much anything, really; and then, from there, depending on the pharmacy schoool, one gets an either three- or four-year-long PharmD degree. If one is absolutely certain that one will only ever be a pharmacist in life, then not getting a bachelors can work fine. But on the off-chance that one may end-up not becoming a pharmacist (or one quits pharmacy) after all in life, one really needs a bachelors degree to even get the kind of job that, twenty five years ago, a person with only an associates degree -- or maybe even only a high school diploma -- could get. So, bottom line, I always recommend getting the bachelors, no matter what. Just take the four years to get that first; and then, after that, enter whatever PharmD program one wants to enter... ...but that's just me. The bottom line is that a person may become a pharmacist, with a "PharmD" degree, six years after graduating from high school if one wants.
