Through a unique partnership with Stetson University, students can also pursue a concurrent M.S. and an MBA, earning both degrees in as little as three years. This dual-degree option is ideal for those aiming to combine scientific expertise with business leadership in the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors.

For healthcare professionals looking to specialize or upskill without committing to a full degree, we offer 15-credit online graduate certificates. Credits may be eligible for transfer to the Master’s program, provided a grade of “B” or higher is achieved and admission requirements are met.

Tuition discounts for the M.S. degree are available to AMCP, ISMPP or AMWA members.
