What is the combined PharmD/PhD program?
The PharmD. and PhD may be taken as a combined program and students choosing the combined PharmD/PhD apply for admission to both programs. The advantage they have is that while in the PharmD program they can orient their elective courses so that they are fulfilling some of the required courses of the PhD Program. When they enter the PhD Program they will have already satisfied one year of course work. For more information see the combined program brochure (pdf).
