Yes, it is.  It is generally a master's degree.

PharmD is a professional doctorate that is similar to medical school and is 4 years. It is NOT A MASTERS DEGREE.

False. It is a professional doctorate like a MD or DDS.

Why are you asking?

 

For the American Opportunity Tax credit (AOTC), the requirement is that you have not completed the first 4 years of post secondary education.  So, if you were admitted to Pharmacy school prior to receiving a bachelor's degree, Pharmacy school tuition would count toward the AOTC.

If you are asking about pharmacy education, then you are past eligibility for the American Opportunity Credit, but you may be able to take advantage of the Lifetime Learning Credit.
