I got accepted into a PharmD/MPH Dual Degree program at Touro California. It's a typical PharmD four year program but we take MPH classes over the first two summers. I was wondering if this program is a good idea. Will it help me in getting jobs in different areas of pharmacy? And what kind of jobs could I get with this?

If the MPH focuses on healthcare management & policy, it may be worthwhile to better understand the healthcare industry. But you have to remember, PharmDs make more $$ than MPHs out of school. Having a PharmD/MPH might be helpful after you've gained pharmacy experience and want to move up. But it doesn't necessarily get you paid more for your first job. So consider the costs vs. the potential benefit. Just my two cents.
