"This program (the MS HSPAL) is here because of those that went before us. So many people have put so much time and effort into developing this program – to giving feedback, pouring their careers into pharmacy administration and advancing the profession. I can’t say enough about becoming involved with those around you. Listen to them, look at their leadership styles, and make it authentically yours."

"With everything I had going on in my life, I was really grateful that this program (the MS HSPAL) allowed me to self-pace myself in an asynchronous way. I was impressed by the ways in which Ohio State can deliver education to engage everyone that's online to make it feel like you're in person."
