BSPS in Pharmacy Administration (PHAM)
Pharmacy administration focuses on healthcare landscape and the business of healthcare. Students in this major earn a minor in business administration. They can also very easily get a minor in e-business and information technology, marketing, or professional sales, in addition to the business administration minor. With one year of additional graduate study, students can receive a master of business administration degree.
BSPS Internship Description
A 400-hour internship experience is required to be completed for all five majors within the Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences Program: 1) Cosmetic Science & Formulation Design, 2) Medicinal & Biological Chemistry, 3) Pharmaceutics, 4) Pharmacology & Toxicology, and 5) Pharmacy Administration. Internships must be related to the pharmaceutical sciences industry and may take place within a variety of local, regional, national, and international sites. Students are not guaranteed or placed into internship experiences; however, robust career development resources are provided to help ensure students’ success (i.e., job search assistance, networking contacts, resume writing assistance, interview preparation, etc.). Internships typically occur during the summer after P1 year. Internship course grading is determined through a combination of supervisor evaluations and course assignments (i.e., final paper, report, and/or presentation).
