University of the Sciences in Philadelphia

Like many, Sunny Shah came to the University’s Pharmaceutical Marketing and Management program thinking that sales was his only career option. That changed as he progressed through the program and completed a pair of internships. “There’s so much you can do with this degree—it’s not just sales,” Sunny says. “There are so many different levels to it.” After graduating in May 2009, he will begin working at the pharmaceutical market research firm Roger Green and Associates. “I’ve always had a knack for science, but business was in my blood,” he says. “This connected the two. To see the healthcare industry from the business point of view is what I always wanted to do.” Sunny credits the program’s evolving curriculum for helping students to keep pace with a swiftly changing industry. “You can’t keep the same classes you had 10 years ago,” he says. “Things are always moving.”
