In order to undertake master's level work in health and biopharmaceutical economics, a student must have an undergraduate degree with a major in the life sciences or a related field (such as chemistry, pre-med, chemical or bio-engineering, etc.). Applicants are expected to have competed the following undergraduate background prerequisites before beginning the program: two courses in calculus, a course in statistics, and courses in both principles of economics and intermediate microeconomics. Applicants lacking one or more of these background prerequisites may still be admitted to the program, but courses taken to remedy background deficiencies will not count toward the required minimum credit hours for the degree.

The program for the master's degree must include:

• At least 30 credit hours of graduate work,
• At least 18 credit hours in 400 level courses,
• At least 18 credit hours in courses in the College of Business and Economics and
• At least 15 credit hours in 400 level courses in the College of Business and Economics.
