PharmD/PhD

A combined PharmD and PhD degree can be obtained and is designed on a case-by-case basis to best meet the needs of the individual student. Acceptance into the doctoral program of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSBS) is required. The student will consult with the Curriculum Advisor of the PharmD program, the Director of the Multidisciplinary Programs, and the Graduate Advisor of GSBS to develop an academic plan to merge the curricula of the PharmD and PhD programs.  Selected PharmD courses are credited toward GSBS course credits, and thus, will reduce the total number of GSBS credits required.  Financial aid and stipend support are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
