M.P.A./Pharm.D. Admissions

A student desiring admission into the dual degree program will be required to apply formally and independently to both programs. Admission standards are the same as if the student were applying solely to one program. To be admitted, an applicant is required to meet the independent admission standards of the College of Pharmacy, The Martin School, and The Graduate School.

1. For the MPA Program, application will be made to The Graduate School. Students who do not hold an awarded bachelor's degree must have at least 90 hours of undergraduate credits to apply to the Graduate School. In addition to course grades (GPA), the applicant's performance on the GRE and letters of recommendation will be considered to establish admission eligibility.
2. For the College of Pharmacy, PCAT and grade point average as well as letters of recommendation, a formal interview, and other factors described in the College of Pharmacy bulletin are considered to establish admission eligibility.
3. The MPA Director of Graduate Studies and the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs from the College of Pharmacy serve as an advising team, each in their respective schools for all prospective and newly admitted students.
