joint program after their fourth academic year (P2 Year) by July 15th.

Background
Unprecedented
management opportunities are available to pharmacists in our rapidly
evolving healthcare system. There is a pressing need, at many levels, for
skilled individuals to manage the clinically appropriate and cost-effective
treatment of an ever-increasing segment of the population. Pharmacists in
retail and institutional settings must be capable of providing high quality
pharmaceutical care, value-added professional services, and appropriate
clinical and economic information to their patients and other
professionals. A unique blend of these clinical and economic skills is
essential for decision-making by pharmacists practicing in managed care
organizations, in pharmacy benefit management groups, in government, and in
the pharmaceutical industry. Finally, talented researchers are required to
develop the knowledge base essential for effective decision-making in these
settings.
Program requirements
Students have the option of applying for either the One Year MBA in Kingston
or the Evening Part-time MBA programs.

companies, pharmaceutical firms, or government agencies.
The College of
