Question hello
I am a Highschooler and I want to know what college in Raleigh, NC would you recommend I go to? I want to go to East Carolina University (ECU). I also want to know what is the least amount of years I have to go to college to become a pharmacist, what is the max amount of years? What cources should I take? What should I major in? What do you think my salary would be?
Thanks for your time
Answer Hi, Shante!
I am not from North Carolina, and don't really know which college would be the best to go to. It takes 6 yrs to graduate with a PharmD from an accredited pharmacy school.
For a list of course requirements, it would be best to contact the individual pharmacy schools you are interested in.
As far as salary goes, you can look this up in the Occupational Outlook Handbook which is available in your local library. I don't know if this info is available online. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Mary
