I think that, in order to practice as a pharmacist, you need a Pharm.D. degree. I’m not sure if this is common at other Pharm schools, but at UT-Austin, you don’t actually need a 4 year degree to gain admission to the PharmD program, but you need to have at least completed the courses listed at http://www.utexas.edu/pharmacy/admissions/crit.html

Based on a couple of friends who have gone to Pharm school, though, I think it’s pretty common to finish a 4 year degree in Chem or Bio, possibly with a pre-Pharm concentration if your school offers it, and then go on to get the Pharm.D. degree.
