Molecular, Cellular and Biochemical Pharmacology Applied Pharmacology & Drug Toxicology

Master's in Pharmacology students gain an educational foundation in Pharmacology plus a behind-the-scenes look into the FDA drug approval process including nonclinical & clinical safety assessments and regulatory guidance. MS students also have the unique advantage to network with experts currently working in the field through special lectures and networking events. Graduates of our program are prepared for employment in the biopharmaceutical and biotech industries, contract research organizations (CROs), government (FDA), or continuing education in medical (MD/DO) or graduate (Ph.D.) school.

For our graduate programs, we welcome applications from students who hold a bachelor's degree (or higher) from a college or university accredited by a regional or general accrediting agency, and have at least a B average in undergraduate course work (or otherwise give evidence of promise that is judged satisfactory by the admitting program).

Due to the diversity of our students' interests, our program works diligently to introduce them to new experiences in drug safety while providing a solid foundation in pharmacology. About half of our students use our program as a gap year experience, preparing for advanced academic training in the life sciences (MD, PhD, DMD, PharmD, DVM), with our remaining graduates employed in academia or with contract research organizations associated with the pharmaceutical industry.
