Doctor
of Philosophy Degrees in Pharmacology and Pharmaceutics:
The degree tracks in Pharmaceutics and Pharmacology consist of a core of courses common to both tracks and specialty course tracks in Pharmaceutics and Pharmacology that provide essential training in the elected major discipline. In addition, students must complete an original research project, write a doctoral dissertation and successfully defend the dissertation before their doctoral dissertation committee. The course of study to complete the degree is anticipated to take approximately five years. |
| Pharmaceutics Pharmaceutics is a multidisciplinary science that focuses on the study of the physical, chemical and biological properties of drugs and dosage forms. Cutting across the traditional disciplinary boundaries, pharmaceutics examines the relationship of drug properties to dosage form design, fabrication, evaluation and therapeutic efficacy. Students in the Pharmaceutics program may develop research programs in the areas of drug delivery systems, drug stability, dosage forms and pharmacokinetics. (Current students and projects)

| Pharmacology
Pharmacology is the study of the mechanisms of action of drugs and drug effects on normal and disease states. It is a science based upon the integration of chemistry, biochemistry, cell and molecular biology and physiology. Students in the Pharmacology program may develop research programs in the areas of renal, autonomic, central nervous system, cardiovascular pharmacology, signal transduction, cellular physiology of exercise and aging, protein biochemistry or medicinal chemistry of natural products.
