Pharmaceutical Sciences

The disciplines of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences contribute in very different ways to a patients health. Most people are familiar with the pharmacists role in dispensing drugs and counseling patients. But fewer realize that it is often the pharmaceutical scientist who initiates the process by which these drugs are discovered and developed.

Our Bachelor's in Pharmaceutical Sciences has been designed to include both the coursework and hands-on laboratory experiences required to succeed in this dynamic field. The result is a degree that serves as a springboard to masters or Ph.D.-level programs, medical school, or entry-level positions in the pharmaceutical and biomedical industries.
