You applied to Nova Int'l PharmD Program, and you don't know whether it gives you permission to work as a pharmacist in the US?

As far as I know, most states in the US allow international pharmacists to become licensed in the US once they earn a US PharmD degree, fulfill their internship hours and pass NAPLEX. You'll have to figure out though, if the state that you want to work in lets non-US citizens get a pharmacist license.

It's ultimately the decision of that particular state. I don't know if you have a visa to just be here as a student or if you have applied for citizenship, but I would bet that has a lot to do with your status. I would contact the board of pharmacy for the state you are attending school and any other states you are considering working in because each one will have different rules.
