One-Year Curriculum for Students with Advanced Clinical- or Science-Based Degrees
The School of Pharmacy offers an accelerated one-year degree program for those students who have already earned post-Â鶹ӰÊÓ degrees with significant curricular overlap with our MS program (e.g. PharmD or equivalent). This option is handled on a case-by-case basis through a comprehensive review of student transcripts to determine an appropriate transfer of credits. Please contact the program director for additional information.
PharmD/MS Joint Degree Program Option
In addition to the standalone MS program, the PharmD/MS joint degree program was designed for students interested in pairing the research-focused MS in Pharmaceutical Sciences degree with a clinical doctorate. The MS degree integrates with your predetermined PharmD coursework and is aimed at training researcher-clinicians for the ever-evolving role of pharmacists within the healthcare workforce.
