Curriculum
In order to meet the scheduling needs of busy students, business courses are offered in eight-week flexible formats that include:
- Evening/hybrid: Classes meet one evening per week. This format combines traditional classroom instruction with online assignments.
- Online: Coursework is delivered online and may include synchronous online meetings.
Concurrently enrolled PharmD/MBA students will be allowed to use some pharmacy courses toward completion of MBA electives and some MBA courses toward completion of PharmD electives. Only those pharmacy students who are admitted to the MBA will be allowed to use MBA courses to meet PharmD elective requirements. You can view the complete PharmD/MBA curriculum here.
