Overview
A combined 256 credits for these two degrees, 214 credits for the PharmD and 42 credits for the MBA, is reduced to 245.5 minimum credits through credit-sharing. Total time to complete both degrees versus just the PharmD is extended by one semester. The MBA must be conferred concurrently or after the PharmD degree.
How to Apply
Students will begin their study in the School of Pharmacy. Students must apply and be accepted to both programs of study. A competitive PCAT score (typically 400 or better) can be used in lieu of the GMAT or GRE. Students may be required to take the GMAT or GRE if their PCAT score is not deemed competitive.

Tuition Information
While the student is enrolled in both the PharmD and MBA programs, the PharmD program will take priority and the Pharmacy tuition rate will apply for all terms except:
- Any term during which a student is enrolled exclusively in MBA courses
- The summer terms during which students take only 0.5 credits of Pharmacy courses, if the student is also enrolled in MBA courses
