Inability to Complete the Concurrent PharmD/MPA Program
A student who is unable to successfully complete PAPA 420 and PAPA 550 would be required to complete courses to fulfill the elective requirements for the PharmD. It is possible that a delay in obtaining the PharmD could occur if the student discontinues the concurrent program. Continuation toward the MPA would be approved on a case-by-case basis by the MPA program director if a student discontinues the PharmD program.
