Pharm.D./MBA Dual Degree Program
The School of Pharmacy and the College of Business offer a dual degree Pharm.D./MBA program that allows students to use eight (8) credits toward degree requirements for both programs.
ADMISSION
Students must have a completed bachelor’s degree in order to enroll in graduate credits under MBA degree-seeking status.
- Students admitted to the Pharm.D. program via the Post-Baccalaureate Pathway may apply for admission to the MBA program at any time.
- Students admitted to the Pharm.D. program via the Traditional Pathway or Early Admission Pathway may apply for admission to the MBA program for any term after the one in which they earn their bachelor’s degree (typically awarded after the P2 year).
CURRICULUM
The following courses/credits have been approved to be used toward both Pharm.D. and MBA degree requirements:
- PHRM 640 Public Health for Pharmacists (3 credits)
- PHRM 670 Pharmacy Practice Improvement and Project Management (2 credits)
- PHRM 675 Pharmacy Management (3 credits)
Dual degree students should register for the above three courses under their GRAD career (rather than their PROF career).
In order to earn the MBA degree, dual degree students who complete the three courses (eight credits) listed above must also complete 16 core MBA credits (eight 2-credit core courses: MBA 701-708) and six additional approved elective credits. Dual degree students can expect to earn the MBA degree within one year following completion of their Pharm.D. degree by averaging 10-12 credits per semester during that final year.
Admission and Application Requirements
- Graduate School admission and application requirements are found on the Admission Information page.

Applicants may request a waiver of the GMAT/GRE requirement if they meet one of the following requirements:

- The application has successfully completed two or more post-secondary degrees (bachelor's level or higher).

- The applicant has substantial post-baccalaureate professional work experience (typically a minimum of five (5) years), including demonstrated leadership ability.
