<\/div>

Highly motivated Georgetown B.S. in Human Science<\/a> students can complete the requirements for the M.S. in Pharmacology in one semester after completing the bachelor’s program.

The Master of Science in Pharmacology<\/a> program offers a foundation of rigorous coursework as well as the option to do research or tailor the curriculum with a selection\u00a0of elective courses from across our biomedical departments.

Our typical cohort of 15-20 students benefits from a small class size in our main pharmacology courses and receives personalized attention from our faculty, whether in the classroom or in the laboratory. Core courses are taught by a team of departmental faculty and researchers, many of whom also teach in the medical school. In fact, Program Director Dr. John Partridge also directs the Medical Pharmacology curriculum for first- and second-year medical students at Georgetown.

Our alumni continue on to further education (Ph.D., medical, and other health sciences) or take positions in the public and private sphere, such as at the NIH, FDA, pharmaceutical companies, biotech companies, and university laboratories. Of students pursuing further education, 65% are accepted either during the program or within 1 year of graduation; 85% are accepted within 3 years.
