BSPS in Pharmacy Administration (PHAM)
Pharmacy administration focuses on the corporate and managerial aspects of the pharmacy profession. Students in this major can 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
All six majors in the Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences degree program require a real-life workplace internship available in a variety of appropriate settings at local, regional, national and international sites. Most students schedule their internships in the summer after their P1 year. Students are generally assigned to ongoing projects at the site and are evaluated on their performance by the site supervisor. A written internship paper or a technical report and/or a presentation, along with the supervisor's evaluation are submitted to the internship course instructor following completion of the experience.
