Evaluate the academic experience and satisfaction of students enrolled in the dual PharmD/MBA degree program between the South Carolina College of Pharmacy and The Citadel's School of Business Administration. Compare grade point averages of students enrolled in the dual degree program with those of traditional student colleagues.
A standardized satisfaction survey instrument was administered to 32 students currently enrolled in the dual PharmD/MBA degree program. Grade point averages (GPAs) in both pharmacy and business coursework were also collected for analysis.
There were slightly higher percentages of both female and minority students in the dual degree program compared to the pharmacy class as a whole. Eighteen (56%) of students completed the survey, and responses were generally positive. The mean GPA of students in the dual degree program was higher than that of both pharmacy (3.37 vs 3.08, p < 0.001) and business (3.72 vs 3.64, not statistically significant) students not enrolled in the dual degree program.
Students enrolled in the dual degree program did better academically than their counterparts and indicated an overall high level of satisfaction with the program.
评估南卡罗来纳药学院与西点军校工商管理学院联合开设的药学博士/工商管理硕士双学位项目学生的学术体验和满意度。比较双学位项目学生与传统学生的平均绩点。
对32名目前就读于药学博士/工商管理硕士双学位项目的学生进行标准化满意度调查。同时收集药学和商业课程的平均绩点用于分析。
与整个药学班级相比，双学位项目中的女生和少数族裔学生比例略高。18名（56%）学生完成了调查，反馈总体积极。双学位项目学生的平均绩点高于未参加双学位项目的药学专业学生（3.37对3.08，p<0.001）和商业专业学生（3.72对3.64，无统计学意义）。
参加双学位项目的学生在学业上比同龄人表现更好，并表示对该项目总体满意度较高。
