Pharmacist licence (PharmD)
Four years of doctoral study and six figures of debt for work that pays well and is one of the few on this site where almost everyone who finishes ends up earning.

Chiyani kuti mtengo chiwonetsero ndi, ndi zimene si
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.

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.
Kodi chinachitika kwa anthu amene anamaliza maphunziro
Miyezi itatu pambuyo kumaliza - chifaniziro cha code pulogalamu, si kwa ntchitoyi yekha
ya 14,903 anthu amene anamaliza Pharmacy, first professional degree ndi sanali kuphunzira kwa zaka zitatu zapitazo, 438 analibe ndalama pa record pa zonse — 2.9%. Omwe anali ntchito analandira median ya $138,348, ndi pakati pa theka pakati $120,409 ndi $158,074.

Ndipo izi chiwonetsero si zosiyana ndi ntchitoyi. Mtsogoleri wa dziko lino amafalitsa zotsatira za pulogalamu pa granularity zisanu ndi chimodzi ndi palibe finer, ndipo izi chitsimikizo's mapulogalamu kugawana code awo ndi ena. Choncho chithunzichi amafotokoza aliyense amene anamaliza chilichonse pansi pa code pankhaniyi, si anthu okha amene anapita pa kuchita ntchitoyi.
Kodi kuti pulogalamu code amaphatikizapo: 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.
