PharmD / MBA

The Doctor of Pharmacy / MBA program takes five years to complete – four years of Pharmacy studies and one year of MBA core courses.  Students spend their first year in the MBA program completing the core curriculum and other program requirements. The next four years will encompass the traditional Pharm. D. curriculum. Students completing this program will earn a Doctor of Pharmacy degree and a Master of Business Administration degree.

The applicant must notify both Colleges that he or she is applying for the dual PharmD/MBA program, and must be admitted by each College to participate.  To remain in the dual degree program, the student must comply with the minimum performance standards of both the College of Pharmacy and the College of Business.

testimonial from a former student

"The U.S. pharmacy job market is highly competitive. A PharmD will signal to employers that I possess the technical abilities to perform my job, but the UW MBA is what will differentiate me from other job candidates. In addition to creating a fundamental understanding of business, the MBA program provides invaluable experiential learning opportunities, which improve managerial and leadership skills. I hope to leverage the attributes gained from the UW MBA program with the technical skill of the PharmD degree in order to pursue a leadership role within the pharmaceutical industry."
