A Collaborative Dual Degree with Johns Hopkins Carey Business School

The University of Maryland School of Pharmacy has partnered with the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School to offer a dual PharmD/MBA program that equips Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) students with management and entrepreneurial skills to stand out in careers in pharmacy or health care.

It's a competitive market, regardless of the industry you’re working in, and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) adds value to your PharmD by demonstrating your exceptional work ethic and showcasing your unique approach to leadership.

About the PharmD/MBA Dual Degree

The Carey Business School part-time, online MBA program offers a great deal of flexibility to fit your schedule, as well as eight specializations to individualize your learning. Learn more about the curriculum of the PharmD/Carey MBA program.
