Colleges & Programs
DOCTOR
OF PHARMACY PROGRAM
The University of Southern Nevada offers a Doctor of Pharmacy program leading to the attainment
of the PharmD degree, the entry-level degree for the profession of pharmacy. The curriculum is arranged such that students
enrolled in the program can earn the PharmD degree in three years, rather than four. Students fulfill academic requirements
throughout the year. However, the curricular schedule allows for a variety of breaks between academic blocks and clinical
rotations as well as time for limited summer and holiday vacations.
MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (MBA)
PROGRAM
The Masters of Business Administration (MBA) Program is designed to prepare students for successful
managerial, supervisory, and administrative roles in any business organization. It will therefore develop managers who can
deal effectively with organizational problems. The degree program is a graduate level, general management degree program,
rather than a specialized one. Therefore, students develop a cross functional perspective. As a result, anyone with a prior
baccalaureate degree or higher from an accredited institution, regardless of discipline or profession, who is interested in
administrative or leadership roles will benefit from earning the MBA degree. The curriculum is designed to provide students
with information to enable them to identify, understand, critically analyze, and apply problem solving skills in decision
making in any organization.
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN NURSING
The baccalaureate nursing program
is designed to prepare students for entry level registered nurse positions in a variety of health care settings. Graduates
will use critical thinking skills for effective problem solving, decision making, and independent judgment to provide culturally
competent and developmentally appropriate care in the practice of nursing and to function as a member of the health care team.
Upon successful completion of the curriculum, students are eligible to sit for the NCLEX to become registered nurses.
