MBA in Pharmaceutical Management


Who should apply?
The MBA in Pharmaceutical Management is intended to serve the needs of those employees who currently occupy or aspire to achieve advanced positions in management, policymaking, and/or stakeholder relations (whether research scientists, the medical profession, consumers, affiliates, partners or subcontractors). It is assumed that applicants hold at least five years of relevant professional experience.

Academic Preparation
Admission to the Drexel MBA in Pharmaceutical Management program at
LeBow College of Business is competitive. The Admissions Committee seeks an exceptionally talented, well-rounded and diverse group of students that will
succeed in an environment that is academically rigorous, professionally rewarding and personally enriching.

All applicants must have earned a four-year bachelor's degree from an accredited
college or university. Degrees earned abroad will be evaluated and must be
deemed equivalent. The Committee reviews applications based on undergraduate record, Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) score, quality and quantity of professional experience, clarity of career goals, professional references, statement of purpose and professional resume. Students whose native language is not English and who do not hold a bachelor's degree from a U.S. institution are required to submit a Test of English as a Foreign Language (ToEFL) score.

The GMAT is waived for any applicant holding a terminal degree (for example, Pharm.D., Ph.D., M.D.).

Goals and Objectives
The MBA in Pharmaceutical Management program is designed for students to:

• Acquire new skills and knowledge that can be applied immediately to improve job performance and the productivity of their teams, divisions, or organizations.
• Understand the economic, medical, political and technological forces that will help shape the success of pharmaceutical companies in increasingly competitive global markets.
• Learn concepts, terms and languages to improve their ability to understand the needs of and communicate with people both inside and outside of their organizations who are key to positioning a new product in the market or simply "getting the job done" whatever that job may be.
• Create more extensive social networks within and across their organizations, thus easing the flow of information about best practices and innovative solutions to problems that span functional units.
