If someone did a PharmD/MBA Degree, would the Pharmacy Program be 0-6 or can they transfer after two years?

Question

of Pre Pharmacy at a different school?

So my whole question is:
If someone did a PharmD/MBA Degree, would the Pharmacy Program be 0-6 or can they transfer after two years of Pre Pharmacy from a different school?

If most school only have a 0-6 Pharmacy/MBA Degree ... Do you know any schools that do a 4 year Pharmacy Program joined with a MBA?

(Oh I live in the U.S.)

Thanks A Lot for your Help!

Answer 1

I'm a 2nd year Rutgers Pharm student. Officially, I'm enrolled in the Pharm School but I have to be interviewed by a faculty member next spring before I could go on to the third year, which starts the professional part of the PharmD program. The program would be 0-6 if Rutgers Pharm took you straight from high school. Before you can move on to the 3-6 part, they intereview you to check if you understand what the profession entails. They also want to assess your communication skills and maturity. You can transfer after 2 years but the process would be a little harder. It would include the interview+applying. Maybe a test too but I'm not sure if it's required.

Rutgers doesn't do a pharmacy program combined w/MBA. I don't know any school that does. Pharmacists who want MBA's usually go for that after they get a PharmD.

Answer 2

At the University of Southern Nevada, pharmacy school is a three year program once you're accepted, including summer quarters, and you can get your pre-pharm anywhere or even come in with a bachelor's degree from elsewhere. At University of Utah, you can also come in to the pharamcy program with pre-pharm or a previous degree from anywhere. It's just a question of getting accepted to the pharmacy program which is TOUGH.

Can't think of a single program that offers a concurrent MBA. Honestly, I think you're way too busy being immersed in pharmacy to do an MBA at the same time.

Answer 3

You really need to get a university catalog and see what classes they require for the pre pharmacy and the contact the pharmacy school or university and see if the school you are going to has classes that count at the other university. It just depends on the university. I hope that makes sense.
