The PharmD/MS in Clinical Research dual degree program augments the Doctor of Pharmacy education by providing the following knowledge and skills: literature evaluation, research question development, study design, data management, statistical analysis and interpretation, and presentation of research. An in-depth knowledge of the clinical research field and drug development will expand career opportunities beyond the traditional pharmacist role.

- Summer Admission: March 31

Application deadline: All materials must be received by PharmCAS by March 1, but once PharmCAS is submitted, a dual degree may be added anytime prior to matriculation but before MSCR orientation.
