Program Requirements
Courses - Degree programs in Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmaceutics and Pharmacologyrequire the successful completion of course credits as found on GSPS Canvas site under each individual discipline. Thesis-based M.S. degrees require research credits to complete the degree (as listed in the GSPS Canvas site under individual disciplines). 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.
All Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences non-thesis Master of Science degree programs meet the criteria for STEM designation as Pharmaceutics and Drug Design, 51.2004.
Residency
The candidate must spend at least two consecutive semesters in the GSPS and must take a minimum of 18 approved credit hours in residence in the GSPS. The statute of limitations for the Master of Science, Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmaceutics and Pharmacology degree is five years from the date of matriculation into the program. A student who interrupts the course of study must obtain a leave of absence from a degree program. On request by the student, such a leave will be reviewed and a decision rendered by the ADRGP.
