Master of Science [M.S] [Pharmacy] From University of South Carolina

The University of South Carolina College of Pharmacy offers an advanced master's degree in pharmaceutical sciences. Students work with side-by-side with faculty, many of whom are actively engaged in research in their respective fields. The program is an ideal foundation for students interested in pursuing a career in research science, medicine or biomedical or pharmaceutical professional or those who plan to continue their education with doctoral studies.

The master’s program is a two-part process. The first aspect is completion of three core courses: medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutics and pharmacology. Once that coursework is finished, students proceed to defining a program of study and then submitting and defending an initial research proposal (IRP).
