Social and Administrative Pharmacy Graduate Program in PCHS

The widespread use and dependency on drugs and drug products in today's society, coupled with an increased utilization and application of pharmaceutical services, has created a need for individuals who can study the social, psychosocial, political, legal, historic, and economic factors that impinge upon the use, non-use and abuse of drugs.

PhD and Master Degree Programs

Study within the Social and Administrative Pharmacy program is tailored carefully to the specific needs and objectives of the student. It is a flexible, interdisciplinary program which utilizes all resources of the University's many outstanding departments in an effort to provide the student with knowledge and experience in areas they feel is applicable to the resolution of pharmacy-oriented problems. The wealth of academic resources located at the University of Minnesota, Academic Health Center, and the Twin Cities allows the student to maximize their own educational experiences.

Minor

Graduate students enrolled in other University of Minnesota graduate programs can earn a minor in Social and Administrative Pharmacy. Each PhD minor program must consist of a minimum of 12 semester credits (6 semester credits for M.S.) in program courses and include a written exam. The minor is created through consultation with the Director of Graduate Studies.

Students within the program cannot minor in the track in which they are not enrolled. However, with the support of the advisor, a related field or supporting program could be developed. If a track-based related field or supporting program is accepted, the students' final examination committee must meet the graduate school's requirement that at least one Examination Committee member comes from outside the program.
