Waa maxay in qiimaha sawirka waa, iyo waxa ay tahay
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.
Tirada dadka haystaan, iyo inta badan oo ka shaqeeyaan ee dhulka
Ma awoodi karno in aan soo saarno midkan
Si ay u aqoonsi qaar ka mid ah, hay’adda soo saarka daabacaadda tirakoobka aamin ah oo qof kasta oo haysta, iyo halka ay samayso waxaan daabacnaa tiradaas oo ku xiga tirada dadka shaqada loo qabtay. Tiradaas oo kale ah ma jiro mid ka mid ah in aan xaqiijin karno, sidaa darteed boggani wuxuu muujinayaa midna. Waxaan ka sii jeedsan doonaa kala fogaanshaha muuqata ka badan buuxinta la qiimeyn - a abuuray waa ka xun mid ka maqan, sababtoo ah ma la hubin karo.
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.
Maxaa ka dhacay dadka oo dhammeeyey tababarka
Afar sano ka dib markii dhamaystirka — sawirka code barnaamijka, ma aha shaqadan oo keliya
Ama 14,903 dadka oo dhammeeyey Pharmacy, first professional degree iyo ma ay wax ka baran afar sano ka dib, 438 ma laha wax mushahar ah oo ku saabsan diiwaanka oo dhan — 2.9%. Kuwa ahaa kuwa shaqeeyay ku kasbaday dhexdhexaad ah oo $138,348, la badhtamaha badhtamaha u dhexeeya $120,409 iyo $158,074.
"Ma jiro wax soo saarka ku qoran" ma aha "ka shaqayn". Miisaanka waa aan jirin wax diiwaanka mushaarka iyo wax kasta oo wanaagsan oo shaqo-abuurka mushaarka sanadka oo dhan. Qofna ma la weydiiyay haddii ay doonayaan shaqo, sidaas daraaddeed tirada dadka ka tagay shaqaalaha by doorasho - koritaanka carruurta, daryeel, safarka, ku nool qof kale oo mushaarka, ka tagay dibadda - la mid ah qof kasta oo doonayay shaqo oo aan lahayn. qofna ma daabaco kala qaybinta oo aan ka yaabay. waxa ay samayso waa in ay soo saaraan in dadka badan oo tababarkan dhamaystay oo ay waxba ka soo bixin ama wax kale afar sano ka dib, taas oo ah si dhab ah waxa mushaarka figure kor ku qoran ma kuu sheegi karo.
Iyo sawirkan ma aha mid gaar ah shaqadan. Dowladda federaalka ah ayaa daabaca barnaamijyada natiijada at afar-dhibcood granularity iyo wax ka yar, iyo barnaamijyada this aqoonsiga ee qaybiyaan code iyaga oo kale. Sidaas oo kale, sawirku wuxuu sharaxayaa qof kasta oo dhammeeyey wax kasta oo hoos ku qoran code in heerkan, ma aha oo kaliya dadka oo u dhaqaaqay in ay sameeyaan shaqadan.
Waxa code-ka barnaamijkaas ku saabsan: 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.
Cidda waa in cohort: completers oo helay deeq waxbarasho federal ah - in ka badan badh ardayda dhigata USA, iyo badhka kale ma la xisaabtamo halkan. Dadka oo u tegey in ay wax ka bartaan dheeraad ah ayaa ku jira mid kasta oo tiirka. Wasaaradda hoos u haysta hay'adaha la cohorts aad u yar oo ay daabacaan iyo ku daray codka tirakoobka in ay naafada ah, sidaas darteed tani waa lacag ka badan hay'adaha ku filan oo weyn in ay warbixin: 80 ka mid ah, soo kabashada 93.0% ee Wasaaradda ee xisaabta qaranka ee barnaamijkan. Ka qaadista barnaamijyada warbixinta ugu yar ee dhaqdhaqaaqa qiimaha by 0.0 dhibcood boqolkiiba.
