    The motivations for students who have previously commenced or completed degree studies in non-pharmacy programs to enter a pharmacy program are not clearly defined. In addition, the factors which may influence the selection of a traditional undergraduate vs the newly developed Master of Pharmacy (Graduate Entry) program are unknown.
