About the course

The College of Medicine's Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and Professional Studies offers graduate programs leading to the Master of Science and PhD degrees in Pharmacology & Physiology. The programs require independent research under the direction of departmental faculty members who are engaged in highly active research programs involving molecular, cellular, and behavioral approaches to experimental pharmacology and physiology in a strongly collaborative environment. Students in both the PhD and MS programs begin their coursework with a core curriculum in biomedical sciences, and immediately start laboratory rotations. Intensive graduate-level pharmacology, physiology and neuropharmacology courses round out the core programmatic courses. Specialization in ion channel physiology, smooth-muscle physiology, behavioral pharmacology, and signal transduction processes may involve taking several elective courses. Each program requires the defense of a thesis based on original research. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
