The Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences was established in 1990 when the School of Pharmacy pharmaceutical sciences faculty requested and were granted permission to separate from the reorganized College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. The rationale for the request was to focus our efforts in achieving the mission of the School of Pharmacy. The Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences offerings currently encompass the Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Science degrees in pharmaceutics, medicinal chemistry, and pharmacology, and the Master of Science in pharmacy administration.
