What will I learn?

The combined MBA / PharmD program targets a select group of pharmacy students who recognize the value of combining pharmacy studies with management skills and expertise. The combined degree program is designed for students aspiring to a management role, or for future pharmacist entrepreneurs. This program combines a PharmD degree with the Master of Business Administration degree. There are no changes to the Pharmacy requirements other than adding an extra year to the overall program (during which students would complete MBA requirements). The MBA requirements are 42 credits.This five-year combined degree program begins with the first three years at the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. In year four, students would spend their time at the Alberta School of Business completing our MBA program requirements. The last year of this combined program ends at Pharmacy where students would complete their pharmacy program.

Entry requirements

For international students

The Alberta MBA is an intensive program. Success requires a high scholastic aptitude, a superior command of English communication skills and strong time-management abilities. Admission to the Alberta MBA Program is highly selective. We seek motivated, bright and articulate individuals who have a strong standard of personal ethics. No formula is employed in admission decision-making. Rather, each candidate is evaluated individually to assess compatibility between the applicant and the program.
