Tuition Information

While the student is enrolled in both the MS in Industrial Pharmacy and the MBA programs, the MS in Industrial Pharmacy tuition rate will apply for all terms except any term during which a student is enrolled exclusively in MBA courses. During those terms, the MBA program will take priority and the graduate business tuition rate will apply.

Curricula Details

Benefit from a curriculum that integrates critical business and technical experiences to prepare graduates for management positions in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

All prospective graduate students will be required to submit official transcripts from all colleges attended. Most programs require letters of recommendation and a personal statement. GMAT and LSAT scores are required for the schools of Business and Law, respectively. GRE scores are required for most doctoral programs and some master's programs. Other requirements could include a writing sample, resume, audition or interview.

International Students

If your undergraduate and/or graduate degrees are from an institution located outside of the United States, you must use a transcript credential evaluation service to obtain a course-by-course report. The official reports must be sent directly to Duquesne University from the organization you order through and will qualify as official transcripts. Please review our Transcript Credential Evaluation Instructions.

Application Deadlines

Application deadlines vary by program. Many programs allow students to apply for the fall or spring semester. Some programs also allow for a summer start term.

Credit transfers

Generally, an academic department may accept credits from a regionally-accredited university that correspond to the Duquesne curriculum and in which you have earned at least a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
The program director of the program or department offering the course establishes the final determination of the acceptance or denial of transfer credits.
