Pharmacology and Physiology PhD

The Department of Pharmacology and Physiology offers graduate programs leading to the MS and the PhD degrees. The programs require independent research under the direction of departmental faculty members who are engaged in highly active research programs involving molecular, cellular, and behavioral approaches to experimental pharmacology and physiology in a strongly collaborative environment. PhD candidates must pass a qualifying examination by November of their third year and they must have one accepted co-author manuscript and one submitted first-author manuscript in peer-reviewed journals during the course of the program.
