Ki sa sa a se yon valè, ak sa li pa se

The spread between the quarters is wider than for dentistry or medicine, which is a real finding about where you study rather than noise. That range is median cumulative FEDERAL LOAN DEBT at completion, not a tuition sticker price and not total cost. It is what completers actually borrowed, so it excludes grants, savings, family money, employer funding and living costs — which makes it a FLOOR on what the credential costs, never a ceiling. The low and high figures are the 25th and 75th percentiles across the institutions that report a figure for this programme, so a quarter of institutions sit below the low end. College Scorecard pools two award years into each figure; the release used here is dated 10 June 2026.

Four years of doctoral study, usually after two to four years of undergraduate prerequisites, then the NAPLEX and a state law examination.

Licences renew every one to two years by state with continuing education requirements.

Ki kantite moun ki gen sak ki kantite moun ki travay nan jaden an

Nou pa ka jwenn sous sa a

Pou kèk kredibilite, òganizasyon ki bay yo pibliye yon kont kredib de tout moun ki gen li, epi lè sa a nou pibliye kont sansanm ak kantite moun ki travay nan travay la. Pa gen okenn kont tankou sa egziste pou sa a ke nou ka verifye, se konsa paj sa a pa montre okenn. Nou prefere kite espas la vizib pase ranpli li ak yon estimasyon — yon denominatè invented se pi mal pase yon ki pa egziste, paske li pa ka dwe tcheke.

The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy publishes a national count of licensed pharmacists, and it is behind a $395 paywall in its Survey of Pharmacy Law. A figure a reader cannot check is not a figure we will publish, so this page carries no credential-holder count. What it does carry, below, is the federal record of what happened to the people who completed the degree.

Ki sa ki te rive moun ki te fin antrene a?

Kat ane apre yo fin fini — yon chif pou kòd pwogram nan, pa pou travay sa a sèlman

Of 14,903 moun ki te fin Pharmacy, first professional degree epi yo pa t ap aprann ankò 4 ane pita, 438 pa t gen okenn revni sou dosye a nan tout — 2.9%. Sa yo ki te travay te resevwa yon mwayèn de $138,348, ak mwatye mitan ant $120,409 ak $158,074.

“Pa gen okenn revni nan dosye” pa vle di “pa gen travay”. Se yon mezi ki montre pa gen okenn dosye sou salè ak okenn revni ki soti nan travay pou tèt ou pou ane a tout antye. Pa gen moun ki te mande si yo te vle travay, se poutèt sa kont la gen moun ki te kite fòs travay la pa chwa yo — pou yo te ka grandi pitit, pou yo te ka pran swen, pou yo te ka vwayaje, pou yo te ka viv sou revni yon lòt moun, pou yo te ka deplase aletranje — ansanm ak tout moun ki te vle travay men pa t gen okenn travay. Pa gen moun ki pibliye kantite sa a e nou pa pral fè yon deduksyon. Sa li montre se kantite moun ki te fini fòmasyon sa a epi ki pa t ap touche anyen de sa ni de nenpòt lòt bagay pandan kat ane, sa se egzakteman sa kantite salè ki anwo a pa ka di w.

Ak sa a pa se yon siyifikasyon jeneral nan travay sa a. Gouvènman federal la pibliye rezilta pwogram nan yon granulation de kat chif ak pa gen pi bon, ak pwogram sa a kredabl pataje kòd yo ak lòt moun. Se konsa, figi a dekri tout moun ki te konplete nenpòt bagay anba kòd sa a nan nivo sa a, pa sèlman moun ki te ale sou fè sa a travay.

Ki sa kòd pwogram lan kouvri: CIP 51.20 is pharmacy together with pharmaceutical sciences and pharmacy administration. The first-professional row is the PharmD, the route to licensure; the doctoral row is largely research doctorates in pharmaceutical science, which lead to laboratory and industry work rather than a pharmacy counter.

Ki moun ki nan gwoup la: Moun ki te ale sou pou etidye plis yo pa nan nenpòt nan kolòn yo. Depatman an supprime inivèsite ak cohorts twò ti pou pibliye ak ajoute bri statistique a rès la, se konsa sa a se yon kantite lajan sou inivèsite gwo ase pou rapòte: 80 100 nan yo, rekiperasyon 93.0% nan kont nasyonal Depatman an pou pwogram sa a. Dropping pi piti pwogram rapòte deplase pousantaj la pa 0.0 pousan pwen.

Ki sa li pèmèt ou fè

Salè a gen rapò ak travay la, pa ak lisans lan. Sa yo se travay li bay ou dwa pou yo.

Job Èske li nesesè? Median Travayè
Pharmacists Legally required to hold the job $140,910 321,970

Èske li peye pou li?

Travay sa a deblotché peye yon mwayèn de $140,910. Median emploi-pondérée nan tout travay nou pibliye se $50,020, Se konsa, prim pou kenbe sa a se sou $90,890 yon ane anvan taks.

Li sa a kòm yon konparasyon ak yon travay mwayèn, pa nan travay ou. Ki sa ki se bazline a, ak sa li pa gen ladan

Li pa t' gen okenn travay. Tout figi ranbousman sou sit sa a se kondisyonèl sou yo dwe anboche nan travay la. Sa a se supposition a kredatif-posede kont la anwo egziste pou teste, epi li se supposition a chak lòt sit peye fè san yo pa di anyen.

Ki sa ou bezwen anvan ou kòmanse

  • Undergraduate prerequisites, and at many schools a bachelor's degree
  • A place at an ACPE-accredited school of pharmacy
  • A pass in the NAPLEX and the state pharmacy law examination

Pa fè sa si

  • you are counting on the retail job market of a decade ago — chain closures have reduced the number of community pharmacy posts and the competition for hospital and clinical roles is correspondingly harder
  • you cannot stand for a full shift, which most community pharmacy work requires
