Goal
Master of Science (MS) Program
The goal of the MS program is to provide the student with the essential skills and abilities to assume managerial and leadership positions related to the economic analysis, outcomes of pharmaceuticals, pharmaceutical services and health care in health care organizations, government agencies, pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions.
