专业概况

在这里学什么？

The Master of Science in pharmacy offers programs in four areas: clinical pharmaceutical sciences, medicinal and natural products chemistry, pharmaceutical socioeconomics, and pharmaceutics.

The clinical pharmaceutical sciences area is designed for students interested in clinical research. The goal of the program is to advance the science of human pharmacology and therapeutics and to improve the safe, effective, and economical use of medications by patients. The program emphasizes the integration of clinical and basic research. It involves advanced studies of clinical pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and the requirements for regulatory approval of new drugs.

The medicinal and natural products chemistry area educates students in the chemistry and biology of drug discovery. The program offers an interdisciplinary course of study and challenging opportunities to do fundamental drug-related research in the basic chemical and biological sciences. The program spans many aspects of the sub disciplines of chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmacology with a common theme of drug discovery.

Contemporary research geared toward drug discovery and design is the cornerstone of graduate study in this area. Students design a course of study, including core courses in synthesis, spectroscopy, enzymology, pharmacology, analytical chemistry, toxicology, and drug design as well as elective courses to maintain breadth and achieve depth in a research area.

The pharmaceutical socioeconomics area provides an innovative approach to studying the challenges facing the health care system and provides evidence to support policy-based solutions. The program combines ideas across several distinct scientific paradigms (sociology, economics, psychology, business, and anthropology) to better understand the factors leading to decisions in health care and the consequences of these decisions. Students gain broad knowledge of health and pharmaceutical care, informed by theories from economics and social-psychology. The program teaches intellectual and practical skills to investigate research questions dealing with current issues. The pharmaceutics area provides an examination of the development, production, and characterization of dosage forms, as well as the disposition and action of drugs in the body.

Career Advancement

The College of Pharmacy has had a 100 percent placement rate for many years. Advanced study in the pharmaceutical sciences prepares students for research, teaching, and administrative positions in the pharmaceutical industry, in colleges and universities, in government agencies, and in health-related institutions and organizations.

Admissions are made for Fall Semester only. On rare occasions, admission will be granted for the spring or summer session.
