Pharmaceutical Administration within the Division of Clinical, Social and Administrative Sciences offers entry-level Pharm.D. students the opportunity to take a highly specialized sequence of courses in the administrative sciences to fulfill their elective requirements. Students receive certification in pharmacy management upon completing required courses and an experiential education rotation in the pharmacy management area. All courses are taught at the graduate level and involve students in debates, case study analysis and presentation, review and analysis of peer-reviewed literature, and real-world projects. Students may apply credits from the specialty concentration toward the M.S. in Pharmacy Administration degree.
