The Pharm.D./MBA double degree is designed to enhance the business skills, knowledge and practical experience of students in the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) program. The Pharm.D./MBA program is intended for individuals who seek careers that may lead to managerial and executive positions in the pharmaceutical industry and in health care delivery systems that provide pharmacy services to patients.
The Organizational Leadership MBA allows pharmacy professionals who began their graduate studies more than four years ago (and thus are not eligible for the Pharm.D./MBA program) to earn an MBA from Oregon State University.
Current students interested in the Pharm.D./MBA program should contact a College of Pharmacy advisor and submit the interest form. OSU Alumni interested in the MBA program should contact Paige Clark, or send a letter to Oregon State University, College of Pharmacy, 203 Pharmacy Building, Corvallis, OR 97331.
Admission to the MBA program as part of the Pharm.D./MBA double degree program presumes concurrent enrollment in good standing within both degree programs. Any student who withdraws from the Pharm.D. program may be required to meet the full admission requirements of the MBA program (that is, completion of GMAT, submission of letters of reference, etc.) and will need to complete the requirements of an established MBA track.
Current students interested in the Pharm.D./MBA program should contact a College of Pharmacy advisor and submit the interest form. OSU alumni interested in the MBA program should contact Paige Clark, or send a letter to Oregon State University, College of Pharmacy, 203 Pharmacy Building, Corvallis, OR 97331.
