Course of Study The two-year degree program will provide a strong science foundation for those interested in doctoral-level graduate programs in pharmacy and other science fields. Students will be better prepared to further pursue the doctoral-level career paths currently being offered nationwide. Some courses may be offered in a hybrid model, which includes synchronous and asynchronous online learning, as well as on-campus learning and videoconferencing. Some courses will be combined with existing graduate courses, while others will be stand-alone, master’s degree-specific courses. M.S. students may be assessed differently when appropriate. Each sequence has courses and emphasis specific to its discipline.
