Curriculum
The Accelerated Pharm.D.–M.S. program allows students to double count up to 10 credits towards both the Doctor of Pharmacy and Master of Science degrees. As a non-thesis M.S. degree program, students complete a Capstone Project (6 credits). The Capstone Project is tailored to the interest of the student and can be a culminating, or practical applied experience or project, to gain experience in processes which advance our understanding of pharmaceutical sciences and may include an internship, technical report, or experience in an element of a research process.
Each specialization has their own curriculum requirements, which can be found on the specialization websites.
We offer flexible timelines for completing the M.S. credits.
