Магистр наук по фармацевтической экономике и политике

The Department of Pharmaceutical and Health Economics offers a Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Economics and Policy . Our master’s students receive rigorous, multidisciplinary training in all aspects of pharmacoeconomics, including cost-effectiveness analysis, econometrics, and health technology assessment. Our graduates are highly sought after for their research skills and ability to apply economic concepts in practical decision-making environments such as managed-care pharmacies, third-party payers, and government agencies.

A distinguishing characteristic of the USC Master’s Program in Pharmaceutical Economics and Policy is the degree to which students are actively engaged in publishable research, either as the lead author or as a secondary author in collaboration with a faculty member.
