EMSOP New Programs

<p>At the orientation they announced the new PharmD/PhD and PharmD/MBA programs; is anyone else here besides me interested?</p>

<p>how does it work? they announced that they fwere interested in creating one, but I didnt expect it for another few years. </p>

<p>how many years for PharmD/PhD and PharmD/MBA?
course load?
admissions?</p>

<p>etc.</p>

<p>i could not find it on the website</p>

<p>Yeah, they mentioned the possibility of an MBA/Ph.D. Pharm. in the accepted students meeting back in the Spring. Craig, how many years would it take to get both? Will MBA courses be substituted for electives w/n the EMSOP prgrm., or will it be a 7- or 8-yr. prgrm.?
Did they mention the MBA during the Pharm orientation you just attended. I will be attending inl Aug. Please fill me in on whatever you know ab. the MBA…I could be interested. Do they really intend to bring it in and when? Thanks!</p>

<p>I think the MBA is 7-8 years (you can part time the last two or do it all in one full year) and the PhD is (I think) 9 years. The requirements they mentioned were a higher GPA… they said something like a 3.7 or something… not everything had been worked out but for the MBA the requirements would be a part of the Professional year electives.</p>

<p>Doesn’t seem like the MBA program is worth it. </p>

<p>the PhD thing has possibilities though. 9 Years for a PhD/PharmD is really good.</p>
