该计划的目的是为学生提供在蒙特克莱尔州立大学获得药物生物化学理学硕士学位的机会。该课程的毕业生将为制药行业的应用研究或产品开发以及管理，检验，销售和服务工作做好准备。具体而言，这些毕业生将具有生物化学，药物设计和药理学方面的必要技能，以使他们踏上制药行业的职业道路。该计划通过提供与制药行业内遵循的药物发现过程极为相似的核心课程，可以满足这些目标。核心课程提供了有关药物发现，药物筛选和药物化学技术以及新候选药物的药理学评估的生化方面的培训。该课程为32个学期。
The objective of this program is to provide students with the opportunity to obtain a Master of Science Degree in Pharmaceutical Biochemistry at Montclair State University. Graduates from this program will be prepared for careers in applied research or product development in the pharmaceutical industry and for work in management, inspection, sales and service. Specifically, these graduates will have the requisite skills in biochemistry, drug design and pharmacology to set them on a career path in the pharmaceutical industry. This program is uniquely poised to meet these objectives by providing a core curriculum which closely parallels the drug discovery process followed within the pharmaceutical industry. The core curriculum provides training in the biochemical aspects of drug discovery, drug screening and medicinal chemistry technologies, and pharmacological evaluation of new drug candidates.
