Years of study :
6 years (1 Year Foundation Year + 4 years Pharmacy program + 1 year internship).
2+X Global Health Program
2+X Global Health Program is incorporated in all MACHS five programs.
It is comprised of two years of unified courses in each program before students are introduced to their specialized courses.
The 2+X Global Health Program is attested by the World Education Services (WES), stating that the MACHS-taught component of the 2+X Global Health Program is equivalent of two full years of undergraduate study at a regionally accredited U.S. institution for the purposes of admission and transfer credit.
This allows students to transfer easily to other majors either within the college or internationally without the loss of credits.
