  1. It’s great to hear that you’re considering a dual master’s program! Balancing dual degrees can be challenging, but many students find it rewarding, especially if you’re passionate about both fields. Here are a few things to consider:

    1. Workload: Assess the workload for both programs. Dual degrees can be intensive, but if you’re organized and manage your time well, it’s definitely doable. Speak to students who are currently in the dual program to get a realistic idea of their daily schedules and commitments.

    2. Interests: Consider how the AI program aligns with your career goals in pharmacy. If you see potential for integrating AI into pharmacy practice—like improving patient outcomes or streamlining pharmacy operations—this could enhance your education and job prospects.

    3. Resources: Look into academic resources your school offers for dual degree students. Some universities provide counseling, study groups, or academic support specifically tailored for students pursuing dual degrees.

    4. Networking: A dual degree can expand your professional network. You’ll not only meet people in pharmacy but also connect with those in the AI field, opening doors for future collaborations or jobs.

    5. Advising: Hopefully, your advisor can give you more personalized advice, especially regarding course load and how to balance both degrees. Don’t hesitate to reach out to other faculty members or current students as well.

    Ultimately, weigh the pros and cons based on your interests and capabilities. If you’re excited about both fields, it might be a great opportunity! Good luck, and I hope you find the information you’re looking for.
