Program Description | The Doctor of Pharmacy/Masters in Public Health (PharmD/MPH) dual degree enables students to broaden the scope of their pharmacy training to include a public health perspective. Direct-Entry students can graduate with both a PharmD and MPH degree in just 5 years, saving one full year of study. The Northeastern co-operative education (co-op) model is the only program of its kind among US pharmacy schools. PharmD/MPH direct-entry students participate in up to three co-op experiences (2 required pharmacy co-ops and one optional public health co-op), providing one full year of invaluable real-world experience. During the final year of the program, students complete the Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPEs) required of all PharmD programs. Of the 6 six-week required rotations, one can be a public health-oriented placement. Additionally, in year 5, students take a Public Health Practicum in the fall and Public Health Capstone in the spring. Co-op = More Experience: We are the only US school of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences with a cooperative education (co-op) program. Students complete 2 full-time, 6-month, paid co-op experiences providing more than 4 times the number of IPPE hours as compared the most PharmD programs. RESEARCH: We rank #1 in the nation among private schools of pharmacy in NIH funding Success: Placement in residencies/fellowships, passing the NAPLEX, securing employment, pursuing advanced degrees: our students succeed Northeastern University students have the #1 pass rate of the NAPLEX exam in Massachusetts at 84%. The average national first-time attempt pass rate is 80% Of the students that elected to pursue a post-grad training program in 2023, 88% secured a position in a post-grad year 1 residency (national average match rate is 71%), 88% secured a post-grad year 2 residency (national average match rate is 83%) Applying: Rolling Admission: Applicants are evaluated, and decisions are made on a rolling basis |
