The Arnold & Marie Schwartz College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences now offers a dual Pharm.D./M.P.H. degree in conjunction with the LIU Brooklyn, School of Health Professions, Department of Public Health. A government public health work force briefing in February 2017 sponsored by the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH) estimated that by 2020, an additional 250,000 public health workers will be needed to replenish a work force shortage that would leave the nation vulnerable to a range of public health threats. Pharmacists with extensive public health training are well-positioned for broader career opportunities in pharmacy practice, community outreach organizations, public health agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and research institutions in the private sector.
Applicants must be full time first professional year (P3) students at the AMSCOPHS with a minimum of a 3.00 cumulative grade point average at the time of application AND at the end of the first professional year.
Applicants must apply, to the dual-degree program, in the spring semester of their first professional year (P3) in the PharmD program:
All application materials must be submitted to the Office of Student and Professional Affairs (OSPA).
Students accepted into the PharmD/MPH program must change their major from PharmD to PharmD/MPH by completing a Change of Major form (The Brooklyn Campus of LIU, Admissions Change of Status from).
