Learning Outcomes
- Students will demonstrate proficiency in understanding principles of medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, and pharmaceutics. Students will also demonstrate knowledge in techniques of biochemistry, molecular biology, and physiology as applied to pharmaceutical research.
- Students will be able to identify pertinent research problems, and formulate a research plan.
- Students will be able to critically analyze relevant literature, and to communicate scientific findings with oral presentations.
- Students will be able to generate and analyze original research results.
Degree Requirements (30-36 Hours)
All students must be admitted to candidacy to pursue the M.S. degree in the Department of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences. Admission to candidacy for the M.S. degree is a two-part process
|
Part one is satisfied by successful completion of 6 hours of core courses:
Part two is satisfied in the second or third semester of the student’s program of study:
Requirements for part two include selection of a research advisor and graduate committee, submission of an initial research proposal, and submission of a master’s program of study. A comprehensive written examination must also be taken after completion of all course requirements. Finally, a seminar based on the student’s thesis must be presented, followed by an oral defense of the thesis.
In addition to the general requirements listed above, candidates for the M.S. degree are also required to complete two departmental seminar courses:
