Oakland, WSU Put Students First with Shared Pharmacy Program

This editorial lauds Wayne State\'s recent agreement with Oakland University regarding WSU\'s PharmD program. ...State universities are clamoring for more money from the state, but they are going to have to make more decisions like the one recently made by Rochester\'s Oakland University. Instead of creating its own graduate pharmacy school, the university joined in a creative agreement with Wayne State University. Undergraduates at Oakland University will be able to complete the final year of their bachelor\'s degree and the first year of their pharmacy doctorate at Detroit\'s Wayne State University at the same time. It will save them a year\'s tuition and prevent the creation of two state-supported graduate pharmacy schools within 30 miles of each other.
