<li>I don’t think so. However I’m not sure. You can apply to med school; however, you’d still have two years left at Rutgers if you apply after the fourth year. </li>
<li>Ernest Mario is extremely prestigious. Iris known to be one of the best, if not the best, pharmacy programs in the nation. 99% of the class receives a job offer before graduation. Due to the location of rutgers (new Brunswick- where many, many pharmaceutical companies are located), graduates immediately begin work making 85-100k. </li>
<li>Unsure. </li>
<li>Unsure. You’re almost guaranteed a job regardless.</li>

<p>I’m not 100% sure about these answers but i know a little bit about pharm so here goes.</p>

<p>1) Do I get a BS degree with this program? If so, is it at the end of four years? Can I apply to med school at the end of four years?
(I’m pretty sure that the pharm program is a 6 year masters program. that means rather than do 4 years undergrad and apply to grad schools, you do 6 years straight and get your masters at the end. I’m pretty sure you can’t apply to med schools after 4 years, if youre interested in med school do a science major, not pharm)</p>

<p>2) How prestigious is the Ernest Mario school? Do many graduates get placed in industry jobs?
(The pharm school at rutgers has been one of the top pharm programs in the country for years. The vast majority of pharm students have job offers before they complete their 6th year. There are a lot of pharm jobs around Rutgers, a huge amount of pharm companies are here)</p>

<p>3) How competitive is it to get into the MBA + Pharmd program for pharmacy students?
(I know how competitive it is to get into pharm so I assume that it must be even more competitive to get into the program you mentioned. you have to be at the top of your game)</p>

<p>4) What is the honors research program? Does it guarantee an industry job?
(I think you’re talking about aresty? if so it doesn’t guarantee an industry job but it’ll give you internships and research opportunities with various professors at Rutgers or even large companies. Depending on how well you do in these internships etc is how you get guaranteed an industry job.)</p>
