The PharmD/MPH dual degree program is available for students who are accepted for admission or currently enrolled in the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program at the UW–Madison School of Pharmacy. The PharmD/MPH dual degree is completed in 5 years. Students step out after year three of the PharmD program and complete their MPH year. After completing their MPH year, they then return to the PharmD program to complete their final year/Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences.
PharmD students interested in the PharmD/MPH dual degree can apply during the first or second year of the PharmD program. Applications are due annually on January 15. Admitted applicants can defer their admission until after the third year of the PharmD program. Students applying to the PharmD/MPH dual degree are exempt from submitting a GRE score and do not need to submit an additional MPH application fee.
