The Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences (MSPS) encompasses research related to drug discovery, nanotechnology, drug delivery, pharmaceutics, neuropharmacology, cancer pharmacology, bioinformatics.  The MSPS program has a structure to support student progress preparing them for careers in the pharmaceutical industry, or to continue their education with an advanced professional or PhD degree.  The program is grounded on having an individual advisor that follows student progress through course work (30 credit hours) and a research project with faculty or industrial collaborators where students are working.  External validation is through student presentation at national meetings and peer reviewed publications.
