A dual MBA/PharmD degree is designed to provide students with the necessary educational foundation so that they are not only prepared to begin practice as a pharmacist, but to assume managerial responsibility in a variety of health care settings.
Improving patient outcomes in a cost-effective manner is one of the most critical challenges in health care today. Strong management and business skills together with clinical knowledge are necessary to keep health care costs under control. Individuals grounded in both business management and clinical skills provide an increasingly important and unique interface between practitioners and managers to balance clinical decision making with bottom line financial realities.
This dual degree is highly desirable for those seeking careers in institutional practice settings, the pharmaceutical industry, managed care organizations, pharmacy benefit management organizations, and academics.
Students graduate with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) and a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree.
