PharmD/Masters of Public Health
The PharmD/MPH program is a reflection of the combined missions of the Ογ½ΆΦ±²₯ Jerry
H. Hodge School of Pharmacy and the Julia Jones Matthews School of Population and
Public Health program. The program prepares pharmacy students to meet the increasing
challenges in their communities' continuously evolving health care industry and to
educate those students to become future health care leaders in public health policy
development.

UNIQUENESS OF THE PROGRAM
- Out of the 34 accredited schools offering a PharmD/MPH program in the nation, Ογ½ΆΦ±²₯
is one of the only online public health curricular tracks that exists, which allows
completion of both degrees within the timeframe of the PharmD curricular tract.
- The MPH program consists of a minimum of 45 credit hours, including eight core courses,
an applied practice experience (APE) and an integrated learning experience (ILE).
- Applicants for the combined PharmD/MPH Degree program must have a prior baccalaureate
or higher degree to be admitted into the program.
Focused on Community Service
Because the current Master of Public Health program is a generalist program, its versatility
is a strong fit for the necessary areas of focus to develop not only strong leaders
in health care organizations, governmental agencies, and practice settings, but professionals
who would be focused on service to the community.
