Students in the professional phase of the program (P3) can choose graduate-level courses for electives as part of a Pharm.D. - Master’s degree shared credit program. This cost-effective option allows our Pharm.D. students to earn a Master’s degree a year or so sooner than would be the case if the degrees were earned back-to-back. The Pharm.D. - Master’s graduate will be more versatile and thus more job-competitive with this extra credential, with a built-in second career path as an option.

Pharm.D. - Master’s Degree Shared Credit Programs Requirements:

PharmD students must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 for admission and prior to enrolling in one of the shared credit programs. And, if accepted, must meet the minimum academic standards of both the PharmD and MS programs. Students must enroll at the end of P3 (start of P4 fall). Students are NOT eligible to join after this period. The Pharm.D. degree is received on schedule, after the P-4 year. The Master’s degree is either received at the same time (4-year plan) or a year later (5-year plan). The 4-year plan is more cost-effective, but quite rigorous; the student is taking 21 credit hours for certain semesters, plus graduate-level electives at the same time as the APPE rotations. Only Pharm.D. students with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher can access the 4-year plan. The 5-year plan allows for a normal courseload and is recommended.
