Program Requirements
Joint Pharm.D./MBA
Through this joint Pharm.D./ MBA program, students will meet the degree requirements for both programs with a maximum of 181 credit hours depending on an applicant’s course history. Any course waivers will reduce this maximum number.
Up to 6 credits of the Foundation or Core MBA courses can be used as elective credits within the required pharmacy curriculum thus reducing the remaining pharmacy-specific coursework to 145 credit hours. Additionally, the coursework that a student takes as part of the required pharmacy curriculum will be counted to satisfy the 15 credit hours of the Pharmacy Industry Concentration coursework for the MBA.
