Pharmacology, Toxicology, and Neuroscience Program

Nicholas Goeders, Ph.D., Professor and Head

Training is available in diverse areas of pharmacology, toxicology, and neuroscience. The program is designed to provide graduate training through advanced courses, seminars, and laboratory research leading to the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Pharmacology. The Master of Science degree program is available to selected students at the discretion of the faculty. Special opportunities exist in the fields of neuropharmacology, molecular pharmacology and toxicology. Students enrolled in the doctoral program are required to take core courses that emphasize biochemistry, physiology, biometry, methods in pharmacology, principles of pharmacology, and general pharmacology. Other courses may be required depending upon the student’s background and interests.

The area for dissertation research is chosen by the student in consultation with the faculty. Students may register for graduate courses only after consultation with the course director.
