    Pharmaceutical Sciences (MS) - Non-Thesis

    About

    The graduate program in Pharmaceutical Sciences has courses of study leading to Master of Science degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences (MSPS).  No thesis is required, but students must complete coursework with appropriate grades and GPA, participate in seminar and give a presentation in their final semester.

    The goal of the MS program is to provide students with a broad background of courses in a variety of areas in Pharmaceutical Sciences and Pharmacology & Toxicology.  Students will take courses in the areas of Drug Discovery & Development, Pharmacology & Toxicology, Pharmaceutics, and Health & Pharmaceutical Outcomes.  The program is ideal for students pursuing advancement in their careers or exploring future academic opportunities in the health sciences.  Those interested in the Ph.D. programs in the College of Pharmacy will have an opportunity to pursue optional research in the summer and apply to the program in the fall of their second year.  Courses taken in the MS program can be transferred to a PhD degree.
