In the United States, pharmacists must have the equivalent of 4 school years of graduate-level training... that's aftergraduation from college. (Some pharmacy schools do technically allow non-graduates after they have completed two years of college study, but in practice, competition for admission means that the majority of pharmacy school students have completed a four-year college program).

So... basically... between 5 (admitted after two years of college, and enrolled in a special 3-year program without summer breaks) and 8 (the more traditional four years college, four years pharmacy school) years in total.

All of this is, of course, in addition to completing high school.
