for those that are in u maryland pharmD/MBA program, do you know if they require full time working experiences like most MBA programs? I looked everywhere on their website but they only mentioned a bachelor's degree is required and PCAT can substitute for the GMAT..

I believe everyone that applies at our school gets in for the University of Baltimore. Its not a ranked program that is why its easy to get in. I heard some are trying to do the Smith program (UM College Park). You will have to take the GMAT for that program.

Here's what's on the University of Maryland, School of Pharmacy website:

PharmD/MBA
In conjunction with the University of Baltimore and Towson University, the dual PharmD/MBA program provides Doctor of Pharmacy students with management and entrepreneurial skills for a career in pharmacy or health care leadership. The UB/Towson MBA Program is fully accredited by AACSB International, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. The MBA program is 51 credits, but because several pharmacy courses contain significant management components, the dual degree student will benefit from a generous substitution policy that enables the student to complete both degrees in less time and for less money than if separately pursued. The MBA accepts up to 21 credits of pharmacy coursework as substitutions, and the PharmD accepts up to 20 credits of MBA coursework as elective substitutions. PharmD students must have completed a bachelors degree or 120 undergraduate credits to be eligible for admission to the MBA program. Applicants may substitute PCAT scores for the GMAT. For more information about the MBA Program or the admissions process, contact Margaret Hayes, M.S., School of Pharmacy Director of Student Educational Services and Outreach at [email protected] or 410-706-6586. Also see the MBA web site http://mba.ubalt.towson.edu/. Students may also choose to informally explore pharmacy management through courses offered as part of the management area of concentration.
