The Master of Science (M.S.) in Pharmaceutical Sciences will prepare students for a career in the highly interdisciplinary field of pharmaceutical sciences. The field of pharmaceutical science involves the integration of concepts from organic chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, and molecular biology for the design, and synthesis of drugs as well as for understanding the mechanism of drug action. As a practitioner in this field you may work on the discovery and development of novel drugs, creating efficient use of existing drugs, and lowering the cost of therapy employing less expensive protocols for manufacturing drugs.
Rowan University’s M.S. in Pharmaceutical Science will provide you with a challenging and innovative learning environment so as to prepare you for further advanced graduate (Ph.D.) or professional (M.D./Pharm.D.) programs or scientific careers in the chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. The program also provides highly specialized training and improves effective communication skills to make you more competitive in the job market when compared to the graduates of other less focused programs.
The Rowan University Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences program requires the completion of 31 semester hours (s.h.). Students can opt to do either the thesis or non-thesis track.
The following courses make up the M.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences program.
