MBA in pharmaceutical management

Since we're focusing on the topic of business school this month, I felt that it would make sense to talk about a specific type of MBA program that focuses on the pharmaceutical industry.

Does it feel like more business schools are offering an MBA in pharmaceutical management? If you live in the northeast where we're surrounded by pharmaceutical companies, then it certainly feels like many business schools offer an MBA specifically for pharmaceutical professionals.

In my region, here are some of the pharmaceutical management/marketing MBA programs:

• Drexel University (LeBow)
• Rutgers University
• Fairleigh Dickinson University (Silberman)
• St. Joseph's University (Haub)
• Columbia University 

If you're actively pursuing a career in pharmaceutical medicine, maybe you're planning on getting an MBA from one of these institutions. Several of these programs blend an online classroom experience with the real classroom. Some also take you on an international trip at the conclusion of a 2-year program.
