About the Program

At Purdue, the Department of Pharmacy Practice within the College of Pharmacy offers Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in two research tracks (1) Health Services, Outcomes, and Policy and (2) Clinical Pharmaceutical Sciences.

Dual-Title PhD in Gerontology: Students may enroll in the groundbreaking dual-title PhD in gerontology. This degree program links the disciplinary depth of a traditional PhD with the interdisciplinary breadth of gerontology. Students are admitted through and meet all course requirements in their home department, while taking courses in aging in at least three disciplines and focusing their dissertation on an aging related issue or problem.
