All pharmacists must have a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree to practice. Undergraduate students interested in a career in pharmacy can pursue a Pharm.D. once they have taken prerequisite courses such as chemistry, human anatomy, biology, and calculus, and passed their Pharmacy College Admission Test. Pharm.D. programs educate students on the medical aspects of pharmacy, as well as the business side of the industry so that pharmacists are fully prepared to manage a team or open their own pharmacy. Pharmacists must be licensed to practice. They can obtain a license following successful completion of a Pharm.D. program and two exams, the Multi-State Pharmacy Jurisprudence Exam (MPJE) and the North American Pharmacist Licensing Exam (NAPLEX). Other requirements include fulfilling a set number of required practice hours, and potentially passing a background check.
