PharmD/MSPGx Dual Degree

Students enrolled in the Doctor of Pharmacy program are eligible to apply for admission to the Master’s in Pharmacogenomics degree program during their first year in the PharmD program (PY1), after January 1. Applications should be submitted by March 1, so as to have adequate time for academic advising and fall course selection.
