We offer an Accelerated joint program that allows you the opportunity to pursue the Master of Science degree while studying for the Doctor of Pharmacy degree. You may elect to study in any one of the four specialization areas described in the graduate program.

Complete a Masters in Pharmaceutical Science within a year of your Pharm.D.

One-third of the M.S. courses can count toward both degrees.

 

Are you ready to make a meaningful impact in science and healthcare?

Our Pharmaceutical Sciences Program is designed for students who want to explore the frontiers of drug discovery, disease mechanisms, and health outcomes.

You’ll dive into the science behind how drugs are developed, how they interact with the body, and how they’re processed and eliminated. Through coursework in pharmacology, toxicology, medicinal chemistry, and health outcomes, you’ll build a strong academic foundation. You’ll also gain hands-on experience through laboratory research and experiential training that prepares you for real-world challenges.

Graduates of our program go on to exciting careers in the pharmaceutical industry, academic research, healthcare, insurance and health benefit management, and government agencies. Whether you’re uncovering new molecular mechanisms of disease, investigating drug toxicities, or improving health outcomes, you’ll be contributing to discoveries that matter.

This program is perfect for high-achieving students eager to pursue both the Pharm.D. and M.S. degrees simultaneously—maximizing their time and effort, with one-third of M.S. credits counting toward both degrees.
