Dual Degrees

Pharm.D./M.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences with a concentration in Pharmacoeconomics, Epidemiology, Pharmaceutical Policy and Outcomes Research 

The dual Pharm.D. and M.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences with a concentration in Pharmacoeconomics, Epidemiology, Pharmaceutical Policy and Outcomes Research (PEPPOR) is designed to prepare students for leadership positions that demand knowledge of health sciences combined with research experience. The goal is to provide graduates with the skills, knowledge, and experience needed for positions in pharmacoeconomics, epidemiology, pharmaceutical policy, and outcomes research in academic settings, the pharmaceutical industry, or pharmacy management. Under this program, the College of Pharmacy will require a minimum of 20 credit hours of graduate-level courses in addition to 11 credit hours of science courses in the Pharm.D. curriculum for a total of 31 credit hours. Students should have completed an undergraduate degree for consideration for admission to the program and must commit to the dual Pharm.D. and M.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences before completing their second year in the professional program. Applicants are considered for the program under the same criteria as applicants to the graduate program. The dual Pharm.D. and M.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences with a concentration in PEPPOR will be conferred together upon successful completion of the program. It is expected that students will complete the M.S. within one year after completing the Pharm.D.

Pharm.D./M.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences with a concentration in Toxicology and Pharmaceutical Sciences 

Pharmacy is a health profession that integrates elements of chemistry, biology, anatomy, physiology, and other biomedical sciences. The Pharm.D. curriculum includes extensive didactic clinical preparation, hands-on clinical practice experience in a wide array of healthcare settings, and a greater emphasis on clinical pharmacy practice pertaining to optimize pharmacotherapy. Many advanced opportunities available to a Pharm.D. would benefit from formal scientific research experience. The M.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences is a course- and research-based degree that affords the research experience necessary to apply the scientific method to advanced research in pharmacy. Completion of the M.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences requires developing a thesis project, documenting the completed project, and defending a thesis. There is a growing need for Pharm.D. professionals to have formal research training to prepare them for many grant programs for which they are eligible as clinical doctorates. This need would be aided significantly by a program that oversees a formal research project, providing a complete "research culture" experience such as would be provided in a Master’s degree program. The dual Pharm.D. and M.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences with a concentration in Toxicology and Pharmaceutical Sciences provides the guidance necessary for the Pharm.D. student to effectively translate scientific concepts to pharmaceutical research.

Requirements for the dual Pharm.D. and M.S. include completion of the UNM College of Pharmacy Pharm.D. curriculum and the following:

Pharm.D./M.B.A.

The College of Pharmacy and the Anderson School of Management offer a dual degree program leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy and Master of Business Administration. The dual degree program is designed to prepare students for leadership positions that demand knowledge of both health sciences and management concepts. The goal is to provide graduates with skills, knowledge, and experience needed for management positions in the pharmaceutical industry, with health care organizations, or retail/independent pharmacies. Under this program, the College of Pharmacy accepts 6 credit hours of M.B.A. core courses as professional electives and the Anderson Graduate School of Management accepts 6 credit hours (PHRM 707 and 760) of credit in the College of Pharmacy toward the 18 credit hours of elective credit in the M.B.A. program. Students pursuing this program must satisfy the admission and other academic requirements of both schools. Those planning to enter the dual program should consult with the admission officers of both schools as early as possible. Students that do not have a Bachelor's degree must meet the admission requirements of Anderson's "Three-Two" program.
