The practice of pharmacy in the United States requires the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) Degree plus an internship. This degree requires six years of post high school study.

In Michigan, accredited pharmacy programs are offered at Ferris State University, University of Michigan and Wayne State University. Internships can be completed at a variety of sites and are typically arranged before graduation. Each program has a different set of admission requirements.
