- The Master of Science in pharmaceutical sciences degree is designed to prepare an individual for responsibilities in professional practice, the pharmaceutical industry, and scientific research beyond those possible with a baccalaureate.
- Although a single degree is conferred, specialization is possible in that the curriculum is organized into three distinct disciplines, referred to here as "options". Applicants must select the program of study (option) they wish to pursue. The options available to graduate students are:
- pharmacology/toxicology,
- health outcomes and socioeconomic sciences, and
- industrial pharmacy.
