Doctor of Pharmacy/Master of Public Health Combined Degree Program

The PharmD/MPH program combines the complete pharmacy school training with a solid foundation in public health, providing students with the clinical skills and science to address health and wellness from the perspective of the individual patient, as well as the community and population. This knowledge and training prepares our graduates with a multidisciplinary perspective when caring for individual patients and understanding the connection between each patient and the health of their community.

Application for admission to the PharmD/MPH program must be made separately to the Pharmacy program and the MPH program. Applicants must file a Declaration of Intent to Pursue a Combined Degree form with both colleges prior to starting their first semester in the MPH program.

Applicants must possess the minimum of a US baccalaureate degree to be considered for admission. Applicants who anticipate completion of their undergraduate degree soon after the admissions deadline may apply for conditional admission. If granted conditional admission, a final transcript from the student’s baccalaureate institution must be received by the Office of Student Affairs prior to the date of registration of the admitted semester.

Students in the PharmD/MPH program will follow the degree program planner for their chosen MPH concentration: Epidemiology, Environmental Health Sciences, Health Behavior and Health Education, Health Policy and Management, or Climate, Rural and Global Public Health.
