The Academic Program

Pharmacology (PHRM) is a medical science concerned with the effects of drugs and chemicals on living organisms. The subject embraces a knowledge of the chemistry, actions, absorption, fate, excretion, and uses of drugs. Traditionally, the greatest interest in drugs has been with the health professions. Today, however, a knowledge of pharmacology and the allied field of toxicology is relevant to all segments of society. It is important that the general public acquire a better understanding of the value, limitations, and potentially harmful effects of drugs and chemicals.

The general objectives and functions of the Department of Pharmacology include (a) teaching the discipline to both health professionals and nonprofessionals, (b) training graduate students, (c) conducting scholarly research in the discipline, and (d) participating in community-service activities that require the expertise of pharmacologists.

Graduate Study

The department offers the requisite work for medical students and for the MS and PhD degrees. Doctoral applicants are required to submit GRE General Test scores.
Required course work includes basic courses in related sciences or demonstrated competence in these fields, plus other courses adapted to the needs of the particular student as determined by the major professor and the thesis or dissertation committee. Most students will be expected to take graduate courses in biochemistry, physiology, and pharmacology. Elective courses in pathology, microbiology, anatomy, chemistry, and clinical medicine are recommended.

Further details on the program and faculty may be requested from the department.

Master's Degree

MS graduates usually pursue further graduate training in pharmacology, its related fields, or medicine.

Doctoral Degree

After postdoctoral training, recipients of the PhD have accepted teaching and/or research positions in universities, the pharmaceutical industry, and private and governmental research institutes.
