Pharmacy, PharmD/MSPS Dual Degree Program
Students must apply to the MSPS program no later than Spring Term 4 of the Pharmacy curriculum for enrollment in Summer Term 5 MSPS courses for the PharmD/MSPS. For students in the Pharmacy Program who have not earned a bachelor’s degree, admission to the terminal year of the MSPS program will be contingent on successful completion of PharmD curriculum. This contingent admission enables students to take MSPS courses during Term 5 prior to completion of the PharmD as listed in the course map. Applicants must be in good academic standing with a minimum GPA of 2.8 in their PharmD coursework and have obtained at least a grade of C in the core courses to be applied to the MSPS listed in the Degree Map (PHAR 510 BIOCHEMISTRY I, PHAR 511 BIOCHEMISTRY II PHAR 519 PHARMACEUTICS I: CALCULATIONS, PHAR 520 PHARMACEUTICS I: DRUG DELIVERY, PHAR 521 PHARMACEUTICS II PHAR 522 PHARMACEUTICS III, andPHAR 530 PRINCIPLES OF DRUG ACTION). Completion of these courses with a passing grade will fulfill the pharmacy didactic coursework used towards the MSPS.
