The Master of Science (MS) program in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at NCCU prepares students for careers in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, and provides a solid foundation for those who plan to continue their education at the doctorate level. The graduate program in Pharmaceutical Sciences emphasizes excellence through teaching and state-of-the-art research in biotechnology and drug development.

For unconditional admission to the graduate program, a student must hold a bachelor’s degree in biology, chemistry, or related science with a minimum of 30 credits in biology, chemistry (including organic chemistry), biochemistry, and physics at the undergraduate level and a cumulative GPA of 3.0 in these courses. A conditional admission may involve correcting topic deficiencies by taking undergraduate courses that are prerequisites to graduate courses.
