Program Description
The MS in Pharmacogenomics program can be completed in three full-time semesters (fall, spring, and summer). Through courses in Genetics and Genetic Counseling, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Pathophysiology, Pharmacogenetics, and others, you’ll be well versed to enter the field of precision medicine.
Courses are taught in the state-of-the-art classrooms and labs of the Center for the Science and Pharmacy, and will prepare you for career opportunities in basic research, the pharmaceutical industry, at genetic testing laboratories, or clinical sites. As a WNE graduate, you will also possess the skillsets prized by employers: divergent thinking, communication, teamwork, leadership and an entrepreneurial mindset—essential to careers in discovery and innovation.
