Pharmacology is concerned with the study of drugs and the key role they play in the treatment of most human diseases. Increasingly, doctors rely on drugs not only to cure disease, for example antibiotics and infections, but also in the prevention of diseases, such as lipid lowering drugs and heart disease. A major in pharmacology will give you a thorough knowledge of the discovery, development and testing of drugs, and its importance to the future of medical research and practice. In this major you will learn about the mechanisms of drug action, drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination, drug activity and chemical structure, the effect of drugs on body systems, the toxic effects of drugs and more.<br>The Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Science is an undergraduate coursework degree that provides you with a background in both the humanities and the sciences. You will study core and core selective liberal studies units in topics including academic writing, critical thinking and ethics. You will choose a major from either the Arts or Science disciplinary pools, and complete additional units from the other faculty to support your studies. You will also complete elective units from the disciplinary pools, the shared pool or the Open Learning Environment as needed to meet the requirements of the course.
