Combined Degree Programs (PharmD)

Combined degree programs are available for PharmD/PhD, PharmD/MBA, and PharmD/MPH. These programs provide the opportunity for selected students to complete both degree requirements within a shorter timeframe than completing each separately.  Students wishing to combine the PharmD curriculum with coursework for a PhD degree in pharmacy should contact Student Affairs (150 Parks Hall) or Graduate Education (217E Parks Hall; William Hayton, Associate Dean for Graduate Programs and Research; Kathy Brooks, Administrative Assistant) for assistance. These programs are individualized by Division (Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacognosy, Pharmaceutics, Pharmacology, and Pharmacy Practice and Administration).  Interested students may wish to speak with faculty members from the various academic divisions as well.

Students interested in the PharmD/MBA or PharmD/MPH will typically apply for the MBA or MPH component during their third year in the PharmD program.  Students must be independently admitted to the college offering the degree they wish to pursue.  The general curricular structure for these combined degree offerings follows:

Enrollment in these combined degree programs may be limited.  Additional information is available at www.fisher.osu.edu (MBA) or www.sph.osu.edu (MPH).
