PharmD and Master in Public Health
As the US and global populations increase and diseases and therapies evolve, the need
for leadership in health and wellness and healthcare institutions has grown. Healthcare
professionals must seek to enhance community welfare and resolve complex health issues
through advanced education, research, and service if we are to improve the well-being
of communities in the United States and abroad. The University of Tennessee Health
Science Center College of Pharmacy and The University of Memphis School of Public
Health has established a dual degree program that allows students to jointly earn
a Doctor of Pharmacy degree and a Master of Public Health (MPH).
