- What is it? This is an accelerated program for academically qualified students which allows for completion of both BS and MS requirements in PHC in 5 years. In comparison, separate completion of these two degrees normally require 5.5 to 6 years. Students in this program will be awarded one degree only (BS/MS), and they therefore will not graduate with a separate BS with their class.
- Who are eligible for it? Only students enrolled in the BS program in Pharmaceutical Sciences with good to excellent academic record (a minimum GPA of 3.0) may apply.
- When should one apply? Applications should be submitted before September 30 of the Fall semester of the student’s senior year.
- What is the status of the program? Approval of this program has been granted by the State Education Department of New York.
- Where can graduates of this program do? Because of their research experience, graduates of this program are highly sought after by pharmaceutical companies. Some graduates proceed to obtain a PhD degree in pharmaceutical or biomedical research.
