PharmD/MBA

Launched in fall 2015, the dual PharmD/MBA degree at Belmont University was the first of its kind to be available in Middle Tennessee, and this program is still leading the way in preparing its graduates for success and advancement in their field. The modern practice of pharmacy is constantly evolving, and now—more than ever before—it’s imperative that new PharmD graduates enter the workforce with a strong business acumen. Regardless of whether a graduate works in a retail, institutional or research site, they must possess robust entrepreneurial skills in business forecasting, employee management, corporate finance and more. 

Belmont PharmD/MBA students can complete all the requirements for both degrees in four years and will enjoy Belmont’s signature personal interaction from experienced, highly regarded faculty. Moreover, students can complete the degree at a reduced tuition from doing the programs separately.

Best of the Best

Belmont's College of Pharmacy boasts strong first attempt pass rates on the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) and a low 10:1 student-to-faculty ratio. Meanwhile, Belmont’s MBA program is consistently lauded by both Princeton Review and U.S. News. Combine those accolades with the location in Nashville - where the health care industry contributes hundreds of thousands jobs to the local economy annually - and it’s difficult to imagine a better fit.
