Medicinal Chemistry, M.S.

This thesis-based program focuses on drug design and synthesis and prepares students to enter the workforce or continue their studies in a Ph.D. program. Students engage in hands-on chemistry activities in a laboratory setting as part of this program.

The anticipated time to complete the M.S. in Medicinal Chemistry is two years, however, this is dependent on the project undertaken. UHSP undergraduate students entering the program may finish in a 4+1 timeline if they have already taken some of the required coursework at the graduate level. The program requires 32 credit hours of didactic and research coursework.
