The College of Pharmacy’s Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Pharmaceutical Sciences/Master of Science (M.S.) in Pharmacy dual degree program offers students an interdisciplinary education with specialized training in pharmaceutical sciences research. Graduates of this program have a strong knowledge base typical of students who earn a B.S. degree combined with greater practical skills. The program focuses on well-rounded students who develop a specialization that enhances their career path development. There are two M.S. tracks. The M.S. track in Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences provides students with the ability to specialize in the areas of pharmacology, drug delivery, or medicinal chemistry. Graduates from this track would gain considerable intensive laboratory training which provides them the practical experience to become more competitive for research positions in industry or to prepare for highly competitive graduate programs that value previous research experience.
The M.S. track in Regulatory Sciences trains students in current drug regulations governing the development and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices, animal health, and combination products. Graduates with this combination degree are ideal for regulatory positions in CMC (chemistry, manufacturing, and control) and/or research and development. This track provides students with considerable expertise in the global regulatory sciences and allows them to be prepared for extremely competitive positions in industry where most of this information is learned on the job.
