Students wishing to pursue a career in pharmacy must fulfill a six-year doctor of pharmacy program. The first two years’ requirements may be completed at Northern Michigan University; the latter four years’ requirements must be fulfilled at one of the nation’s pharmacy schools. Within Michigan, the doctor of pharmacy degree (Pharm.D.) is available from Ferris State University, the University of Michigan and Wayne State University. Another option, the Ph.D. in pharmacy, is also available from the University of Michigan and Wayne State University, but these usually require earning the bachelor’s degree in chemistry or pharmacy first.
