Pharmacology
College description: As the study of pharmacology is interdisciplinary, graduate programs in pharmacology are diverse and flexible. Students take a small core of courses in pharmacology, and complete their didactic instruction with courses in areas related to their research including molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, and cell biology. The Pharmacology and Cancer Biology at Duke University has particular strengths in the areas of receptor function and cellular signaling mechanisms as targets of drug action, neuropharmacology, metabolism, and the pharmacology of normal and abnormal cell growth.
If applicant choose to enter self-reported test scores, official test scores will become a required component of their application.

College description: Georgetown University’s MS in Pharmacology program is a one-year, non-thesis degree program that offers a foundation of rigorous coursework as well as the option to do research or tailor the curriculum with a selection of elective courses from across the university biomedical departments.The university alumni continue on to further education or take positions in the public and private sphere, such as at the NIH, FDA, pharmaceutical companies, biotech companies, and university laboratories.Eligibility and Application Instructions specific to the MS in Pharmacology.Pharmacology is the study of substances that affect living systems.Pharmacology is often considered a bridge between the basic sciences and clinical medicine. Thus, in addition to the basic principles, the Pharmacology MS program provides an understanding of pharmaco-therapeutics, the use of drugs in the treatment, prevention and diagnosis of disease toxicology, the study of the adverse effects of drugs and an introduction to the field of pharmacogenomics, the study of the genetic factors that affect an individual’s or a population’s response to a drug.Pharmacology is distinct from the discipline of Pharmacy. Pharmacology establishes the basic principles and science behind the practice of pharmacists.Opportunities for masters-level pharmacologists exist in the pharmaceutical industry, government agencies, and laboratories, as well as at biotechnology companies.
