The Department of Medicinal Chemistry in the School of Pharmacy offers programs leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in Pharmaceutical Sciences. These programs provide the preparation and research experience for academic, governmental and industrial careers. Graduate degrees in pharmaceutical sciences do not provide eligibility for licensure as a pharmacist.

Students may elect to pursue a joint Pharm.D./Ph.D. program.
Current research interests of the department include: synthesis and biological evaluation of new compounds; molecular-graphics assisted drug design; determination of relationships between chemical structure and biological activity; studies of drug action; receptor binding studies; theoretical studies on structure-activity relationships of drugs, including the use of molecular orbital theory, X-ray crystallography, computational chemistry and molecular connectivity; and rational design of new drugs and studies on drug metabolism.
