- The Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences emphasizes basic as well as applied research in drug delivery and targeting, utilizing medicinal chemistry, computational chemistry, pharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, immunology, and molecular and cell biology.
- If students study pharmacy at university, they will typically take modules focusing on chemistry, human biology and physiology, pharmaceutics (how medicines are made), and pharmacology (how drugs interact with the body).
- Pharmaceutical science is a field that focuses on the design and synthesis of potential drugs, as well as their evaluation in biological systems and disease models as a means of profiling their preclinical safety, efficacy, dynamics, and metabolism.
- Applicants must have demonstrated proficiency in verbal and written English and in fundamental scientific areas such as organic and physical chemistry, biochemistry, biology, mathematics, statistics and computer science.
- Applications for admission are reviewed by the Pharmacology and Pharmaceutical Sciences Master of Science Program Admissions Committee and are evaluated primarily on the basis of academic excellence.
- A minimum of 24 units in coursework and 28 total units are required for graduation.
- Students may choose between two tracks to complete the Master of Science degree. First, the research track requires that the student carry out a research project during their program. As noted above, research towards the thesis can be begun at any point, though typically this begins during the first semester. The thesis should be about 50 pages.
- Second, the non-research, non-thesis Master’s track requires that the student complete 28 units of coursework. Several options regarding the nature and scope of coursework are available.
