Dual Degree Programs and Certificates
Regis prepares students to take advantage of the full spectrum of career opportunities available to PharmD graduates including the full range of pharmacy specialties, biotech sector, healthcare delivery, public health and regulatory roles. Dual degree, certificate and internship programs allow a student to customize their educational experience to best fit their career goal.
Dual Degree Programs
- The dual degree programs are achieved by applying electives taken with the Pharm.D. program to the targeted master’s degree.
- The M.S. Health Services Administration and M.S. Health Informatics degrees are earned concurrently with the Pharm.D. in the 4-year pathway. In the 3-year Pharm.D. pathway obtaining either of these degrees will likely require some additional M.S. program coursework to be completed after finishing the Pharm.D. program. These remaining courses can be completed online.
- The M.B.A. degree is earned concurrently with the Pharm.D. in the 4-year pathway. The pathway requires that the student holds a B.A. or B.S. degree, has at least 18 months of work experience, applies and is accepted to the Anderson College of Business and Computing.
Certificate Programs
Students pursuing the Pharm.D. degree may also elect to pursue a graduate certificate. Graduate certificates allow students to indicate an area of interest within the health care industry. Graduate academic certificates require a total of 12 credits. Students can use 9 of the credits for the certificates outlined below towards the elective credit requirement for the Pharm.D. program. To complete the requirements for the certificate, students must take an additional course as specified by the certificate that is being pursued. As with the dual degree programs, students are strongly encouraged to meet with the School of Pharmacy Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs to ensure that they have properly declared an intent to pursue a graduate academic certificate.
