Combined BSPS and PharmD Degree

The BSPS-PharmD Combined Degree program offers streamlined course efficiencies between the BSPS and PharmD curricula, providing a seamless experience for committed undergraduate students. The BSPS-PharmD Combined Degree program has been designed in such a way that students can complete the BSPS degree faster and, in their fourth year, matriculate in the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program. 

Students will receive their bachelor's degree at the end of their P1 year (first year of PharmD). Most students will complete both degrees, but students may choose to complete this pathway in more or less time.
