Attached to this Description Programs of Study The Program in Pharmacological Sciences offers programs leading to M.S. and Ph.D. degrees, with opportunities for specialization in neuropharmacology or behavioral pharmacology and drugs of abuse.
Students follow a core curriculum during the first year.
The second-year curriculum continues the specialization of the student's program, along with instruction in medical pharmacology. The basic course work is structured around research activity, and the program fosters participation in laboratory-based research soon after a student enters the program. Students have a highly diverse roster of research programs to consider. In addition, many faculty members interact via close collaborations, offering students even wider opportunities for training. Research activities in the program reflect the highly interdisciplinary nature of pharmacology.
