UNT System College of Pharmacy
Earn a PharmD/MBA to grow your business and pharmacy skills
UNT Health's College of Pharmacy has partnered with UNT Denton's Ryan College of Business to provide students in the PharmD program the opportunity to complete an MBA concurrently. While most PharmD graduates will initially take a position in an established practice or accept a residency or fellowship, an increasing number of graduates choose to go into pharmaceutical sales. Others begin at drugstores where they can move into management. The collaborative program allows the PharmD student to build a foundation in business to give them an advantage in pharmaceutical sales, management and entrepreneurship and even to advance into leadership roles should they choose to take a position in a firm specializing in research and development.
