M.S. Degree
The curriculum for the UF M.S. degree is based on the selected specialty track:
Dual Degrees Fuel Career Impact
Shelby Turnage, M.S., MBA Candidate
"While my career began in pharmaceutical sales and marketing, I wanted to deepen my expertise in the entire pharmaceutical ecosystem. I knew that to innovate and drive a meaningful impact in the pharmaceutical industry, one must understand the complex dynamics, regulations, and stakeholders within the market. UF’s M.S. + MBA dual degrees program has enabled me to build both specialized industry expertise and strong business acumen essential to differentiate myself and advance as a strategic leader."
MBA Curriculum
Note: In terms of sequencing, students begin the program by taking at least one semester of coursework in the UF online M.S. program, selecting a specialty track: pharmacoeconomics, managed care pharmacy, patient safety in medication use or pharmaceutical policy. At some point after that, students will take a break from UF coursework to temporarily transition to Stetson coursework for at least six credits (one semester). They will then transition back to UF coursework to finish their M.S. degree. Following UF graduation, students return to Stetson to finish their MBA coursework.
