Current Western New England University PharmD candidates can apply for admission to the PharmD/MS in Organizational Leadership Dual Degree Program upon completing at least one semester in the PharmD program. Applications are processed on a rolling basis. Applicants will be evaluated based on their performance to date in the PharmD program, including their undergraduate academic record, and their exam results for the GMAT or GRE.
Master's Application Requirements
Dual degree candidates will be billed in four installments once they register for their first graduate business course. A charge will be posted for a total of four semesters. The installments will be based on current graduate tuition rates and will be adjusted annually. As a result of the cross-credits shared by both degree programs, dual degree candidates will save over $11,000 in tuition. Candidates completing graduate business courses after the four installments are paid will not be charged for any remaining graduate business courses.
Graduate Tuition
