This Question Is From: Pharmacy Technician Schools in Illinois and has 2 Answers
I was thinking about what I want to be in the future and I decided on becoming a pharmacist. I would like to become a retail pharmacist such as a Walgreens pharmacist but I have a few questions.
Straight out of high school, do I go to a pre-pharmacist college first and then go to a pharmacy college?
How many years is pharmacy school?
What are some good pharmacy colleges in Southern California and Illinois? and what requirements do they have? My GPA is 3.7 and I am in high level classes (Honors).
Thanks in advance for all your help

you must first get your under-graduate degree (bachelors) in either pre-pharmacy or just a general science such as biology and chemistry.
then after about 3 years of under-grad you will be ready to apply for pharamcy school, which can take 2 to 4 years…depending on you and your pace of taking courses.
good luck!
You could go straight to Pharm. school which is 5-7 years. So you could go to undergrad first if you had to or if you got into a pharm. school do that.
Some good schools in Illinois are Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, The University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign, UIC, Northwestern, and University of Chicago are all top 15 Universities for pharm. in the U.S. in Southern Ca. UCLA,USC, and UCSD are the best.
