Pharmacology Master of Science (M.S.) in Applied Pharmacology and Environmental Xenobiotics

The Pharmacology M.S. degree program is designed to provide a basic framework for becoming a successful scientist (e.g., training in lab biosafety, responsible conduct of research, communication of research findings, and statistics) and a solid foundation in pharmacological and toxicological sciences, while empowering each student to pursue more in-depth studies in one of several areas, such as biomedical pharmacology, pharmacogenomics and genetics, or toxicology and epidemiology. The program is to offer a highly flexible educational experience that can prepare post-baccalaureate students for competitive jobs in the private sector, academia, or governmental agencies, or to matriculate into terminal degree (e.g., Ph.D., MD) programs, if they so choose.

Applicants should follow instructions found on the Department of Pharmacology website.
