This new and unique online graduate program focuses on the methodology and application of mathematical models for disease and pharmacological measurement while utilizing extensive training in pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and systems pharmacology.
You must satisfactorily complete at least 30 graduate credit hours for the MS degree. All required courses must be completed with a B- or higher (or must be repeated).
Courses are asynchronous remote, in which learning materials are provided online, and students can view these materials and complete tasks at their own pace. However, there are also required due dates.
