Courses - Degree programs in Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmaceutics, Pharmacology and Pharmacy Administration require the successful completion of course and research credits as found on GSPS Blackboard site under each individual discipline. Optional graduate courses in the Pharmaceutical Sciences or in other disciplines may be acceptable for credit, subject to faculty advisor approval.

A maximum of six credits of graduate coursework completed (B or better grade) at other accredited academic institutions may be applied toward the partial fulfillment of requirements for the Master's degree. The major advisor and the Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Programs (ADRGP) must approve any transfer credits applicable toward the M.S. degree.

For all programs, any deficiencies in undergraduate coursework must be resolved without the granting of graduate credit. The GSPS does not accept challenge examinations for graduate credit. All graduate students are required to maintain good academic standing, which is defined as a quality point average of 3.0 or better.
