Has a degree in finance How long does it take to become pharmacist?

A degree in finance has no bearing on the time it takes to become a pharmacist. Becoming a pharmacist requires a completely different educational path. It typically takes around 8 years after high school:

* 4 years: Bachelor of Science (BS) in Pharmacy or a related science field. Some universities offer a 6 year PharmD program which combines the BS and professional degree.

* 4 years: Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree, a professional doctorate. This is now the standard requirement for licensure in the United States and many other countries.

Then, after graduating with a PharmD, there's additional time for licensing exams and potentially a residency.
