Program Description The mission of the Master of Science in Pharmacology and Toxicology (PHTX-MS) program is to foster excellence in graduate education by providing a comprehensive and rigorous academic and research training experience. Our program is dedicated to developing lifelong learners with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in pharmacological research, clinical trials, and toxicological assessments within pharmaceutical, biotechnology, academic, and governmental sectors. We emphasize a broad didactic foundation in pharmacology and toxicology, coupled with significant research opportunities that enable students to translate their knowledge into practice.


The program also prioritizes the development of professional skills, including statistical analysis, and effective communication, both written and verbal. Through a combination of specialized coursework, laboratory work, seminars, and professional development activities, our graduates will be prepared to assume competitive technical positions, advance to Ph.D. programs, or enhance their credentials for admission to medical or other health professional schools. Our program is designed to foster an environment of integrity, innovation, and service throughout their graduate education.

This 1-year Master of Science program will include two tracks: a laboratory research track (Thesis Track), and a capstone project/presentation track (Capstone Track). The MS students will take coursework, work in laboratories, and participate in professional development activities alongside current PhD students.
