Some examples of dual degrees:

Some of these degrees will require that you take additional standardized tests (GMAT, GRE, LSAT, etc.), an extra application, and more time in school. You should check these requirements early in the application process so that you will be ready when the time comes. At USC, many dual degree options are offered and some of them require only one or two extra summers with pharmacy school courses overlapping in requirements (saving you tuition and time).
