我们提供通往理学硕士和哲学博士学位的课程。我们的主要目标是为研究和教学职业做好准备。前几个学期主要致力于核心课程工作，旨在为学生提供有关药理学基础理论和技术的广泛背景。在这段时间内，学生通过在各个教职员工的实验室中工作，最终选择论文顾问，从而获得了解决研究问题的方法的机会。该部门存在广泛的研究兴趣。由访问科学家进行的一项活跃的研讨会计划为学生和教师提供了扩大他们对当前科学问题的视野的机会。攻读硕士学位的学生必须获得30个学期的学分，平均绩点3.0（B）或更高，必须证明自己的口头表达能力，完成并捍卫论文。博
The Department of Pharmacology offers programs leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Our primary objective is to prepare candidates for research and teaching careers. The first few semesters are devoted primarily to core course work designed to give the student a broad background in the fundamental theories and techniques of pharmacology. During this time, the student gains exposure to methods for the solution of research problems by working in the laboratories of various faculty members culminating in a selection of a thesis advisor. Candidacy for the Ph.D. requires, in part, demonstrated proficiency in expository writing, the satisfactory completion of course work and preliminary written and oral examinations. Emphasis is placed on giving candidates rigorous standards of scholarship and critical attitudes toward the solution of research problems. A broad range of research interests exists within the department. An active seminar program conducted by visiting scientists gives students and faculty opportunities to broaden their outlook on current scientific problems.
