Program Description

The University of Florida’s online Master’s in Pharmaceutical Sciences with a concentration in Pharmaceutical Chemistry is designed for professionals seeking to deepen their expertise in drug design, development and analysis. Whether you're already working in the pharmaceutical industry or looking to transition into it, this program offers the flexibility and academic rigor to help advance your career.

The 32-credit fully online graduate program is ideal for professionals and aspiring specialists in:

- Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies
- Drug regulation agencies
- Analytical and clinical laboratories
- Hospital and healthcare systems
- Chemistry graduates seeking industry-focused graduate training

Through a unique partnership with Stetson University, students can also pursue a concurrent M.S. and an MBA, earning both degrees in as little as three years. This dual-degree option is ideal for those aiming to combine scientific expertise with business leadership in the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors.

For healthcare professionals looking to specialize or upskill without committing to a full degree, we offer a 15-credit online graduate certificate. Credits may be eligible for transfer to the Master’s program, provided a grade of “B” or higher is achieved and admission requirements are met.
