BS Pharmaceutical Sciences

Our Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceuticals Science program will equip you with the knowledge and skills you’ll need to change the world with a career in the pharmaceutical industry, academic research laboratories, and biotechnology companies.

Graduates of this program may also pursue advanced degrees oriented toward research (M.S. / Ph.D.) or clinical practice (Pharm.D., M.D., etc.). Pharmaceutical sciences includes a variety of disciplines such as pharmacology, pharmaceutics, medicinal chemistry, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacogenomics that are related to the discovery and development of new drugs and pharmacotherapies to treat diseases and improve people’s lives.

This program is also offered as part of an accelerated dual degree program in conjunction with the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.). The course work in the fourth year of the B.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences program is synonymous with the coursework in the first year of the Pharm.D. program –  enabling both degrees to be completed within 7 years rather than the typical 8 years.

Another available option is to take it in conjunction with the M.S. (thesis) or M.A. (non-thesis) degrees in Pharmaceutical Sciences. The B.S. / M.A. dual degree can be completed in 5 years, while the B.S./M.S. (thesis option) dual degree typically requires 6 years. More Information.
