MS in Pharmacology is a study of Applied Drug Development that provides graduates with the knowledge, abilities, and talents required to compete for highly coveted careers in the ever-changing pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries. A master’s degree in pharmacology is a program that combines the sciences of physiology, biochemistry, chemistry, anatomy, neuroscience, and genetics to better understand pharmacological actions. A master’s degree in pharmacology bridges the gap between basic science and clinical medicine, providing knowledge of pharmacotherapeutics (the use of drugs in disease treatment, prevention, and diagnosis), toxicology (the study of drug side effects), and pharmacogenomics.
