Doctor of Pharmacy and Masters in Public Health

As the US and global populations increase and as diseases and therapies evolve, the need for leadership in health and wellness and healthcare institutions has grown. It is imperative that healthcare professionals 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 have established a dual degree program that allows students to jointly earn the Doctor of Pharmacy degree and a Masters of Public Health (MPH).
