PHARM.D./M.P.H. Courses
Students entering the first professional year in pharmacy (P3) have the option of enrolling in a predetermined sequence of M.P.H. coursework. Pharm.D. students must be in good academic standing and meet the minimum academic requirements of both the Pharm.D. and M.P.H. programs prior to applying to the dual degree program. If accepted, students must meet the academic standards of both the College of Pharmacy and the School of Health Professions. Having successfully met the admissions criteria, students will be accepted in the Pharm.D./M.P.H. dual degree program. The School of Health Professions, Department of Public Health, will handle the application process.
M.P.H. courses are embedded within the Pharm.D. curriculum as well as within the summer and winter sessions. Pharm.D. students will take M.P.H. core courses as a cohort and in their own dedicated sections during the summer session after completing their first professional year (P3). In the second professional year, (P4) students will continue with M.P.H. courses during the fall and spring and during the remaining winter, and summer sessions of the pharmacy professional years (P4-P6). During the P6 year, the PHM 699 APPE Selective requirement is replaced by two required M.P.H. courses, MPH 798: Public Health Capstone and MPH 799: Public Health Practicum, allowing dual degree students to achieve the required 180 credits in total. Upon successful completion of all Pharm.D. and M.P.H. requirements students will be awarded both degrees. Pharm.D. students enrolled in the dual degree program will complete the prescribed program of study by the end of the final pharmacy professional year (P6) and will graduate with their Pharm.D. classmates.
