Except Pharm.D. Planning, many schools, and pharmacies offer a graduate degree program (ie master's course) (see Pharmacy Education). Students enrolled in these courses are often referred to as "graduate students" and "pharmacy students" are usually reserved for Pharm.D students. Students of M.S or Ph.D. of College of Pharmacy or Pharmacy can not become a licensed pharmacist upon receiving a license exam. MS and PhD in pharmacy and pharmacy are graduate degrees with research focus and are offered by pharmacies / universities. "The main focus and design of the doctoral program should be research-intensive to train independent pharmaceutical scientists." These degrees are recognized by regional and domestic accreditation bodies.

A graduate degree is an advanced degree that is focused on a specific academic or specialty field (ie law, medicine, business etc.). The general prerequisite for most graduate degree programs is bachelor's degree - usually studied in relevant fields. Historically, the graduate degree is essentially academic and research-based. Today, most graduate degrees focus on applied science, the scope and nature of which are professional. Many graduate degrees differ between academia and industry. A postgraduate degree may take up to 8 years, or only 2 years to complete.

"First Professional Degree" is a postgraduate degree program aimed at preparing graduates for professional practice in academic scholarship and research in all fields. The first professional degree program requires at least two years of college education to enter the program and at least six years of college education (including pre-admission) to complete the program. Most professional degree programs require a degree in elementary school first graders, and many students require a learning period of 7 to 8 years. Many first professional degrees like M. D., J. D., or DO is named Ph.D., but should not be confused with Ph.D. Do not confuse the first professional degree with a special master's degree such as M. Arch. M.B.A. classified as master's degree or having intermediate graduate qualifications also has the title of a doctor such as D. Min. Or D. Psy
