What type of high school diploma is needed to become a pharmacist?

Answer 1

It would seem that any Pharmacy School would have this answer, also it would seem that you could call your local pharmacist and get the correct answer. A high school counselor should also be able to answer this question, too.

****************************

As long as you have graduated from high school or completed a GED, it does not matter what type of diploma you have. Either of these is necessary to enroll in college, where you will complete undergraduate coursework before applying to pharmacy school. The pharmacy school will be looking at the grades that you earned in you college coursework, not your high school diploma.

Answer 2

Pharmacists must earn a Pharm.D. degree from an accredited college or school of pharmacy. The Pharm.D. degree has replaced the Bachelor of Pharmacy degree, which is no longer being awarded. To be admitted to a Pharm.D. program, an applicant must have completed at least 2 years of postsecondary study, although most applicants have completed 3 or more years. Other entry requirements usually include courses in mathematics and natural sciences, such as chemistry, Biology, and physics, as well as courses in the humanities and Social Sciences. In 2007, 92 colleges and schools of pharmacy were accredited to confer degrees by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE). About 70 percent of Pharm.D. programs require applicants to take the Pharmacy College Admissions Test (PCAT).
