Pharmaceutical Sciences (MS) - Pharm Econ Policy & Outcomes

Pharmaceutical Economics, Policy and Outcomes Track

The growth in the biotechnological and pharmaceutical sectors has created a demand for well-trained scientists who provide technical expertise that evaluates medication therapy and pharmacy services in the context of its benefits, risks, and costs.  The M.S. program provides rigorous scientific training similar to that taking place in the Ph.D. track but with different academic requirements and less extensive research training.  The average time to graduation is less than three years.  Many M.S. graduates pursue pharmaceutical industry or managed care careers, which involve activities such as working at the project development, design, and management level, assisting in product development, and marketing.  The M.S. degree is required for admission to the Ph.D. program.
