Master of Science [M.S] [Pharmacology] From University of Iowa

The department was a pioneer in offering pharmacology to undergraduate students with little or no science background. Currently, undergraduates can enroll in?PCOL:2120?Drugs: Their Nature, Action, and Use. This course emphasizes the mechanisms of drug action and give students a background for rational decisions concerning use of drugs.

Department of Pharmacology graduate study includes both didactic and research experience. Students interested in doctoral studies in pharmacology should apply under the new umbrella program in?Biomedical Science?(pharmacology subprogram). Qualified students may pursue the joint M.D./Ph.D. in the University's Medical Scientist Training Program.

Pre- and postdoctoral students pursue research training in all areas of pharmacology in the department in preparation for career opportunities in academia, government, and industry.
