Pharmacy, PharmD/MBA Dual Degree Program
The Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree program at Roosevelt University is designed to prepare pharmacists to work in various healthcare settings. Through academic coursework that includes the current MBA prerequisite, core, and concentration courses, PharmD students can complete a dual PharmD/MBA program. There is a demand for an MBA degree from PharmD students at Roosevelt University. This Dual Degree program will encourage and allow PharmD students to customize their management education in the direction of their specific interests and career aspirations. The PharmD/MBA dual degree can be accomplished using the existing core courses and concentration courses.
Students must apply to Heller College of Business no later than Spring Term 4 of Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum for enrollment in Summer Term 5 HCB courses. For students who have not earned a bachelor’s degree, admission to the MBA program in Heller College of Business will be contingent on the successful completion of PharmD. This contingent admission enables students to take HCB courses before completion of the PharmD as listed in the course map.
