Requirements for Degree Completion
Units Required
Minimaal 24 eenheden in cursuswerk (zie Cursusaanbod hieronder) en 28 totale eenheden zijn vereist voor afstuderen. Alle studenten nemen deel aan 12 eenheden of kerncursuscurriculum (PSCI 501-503) plus één 4Studenten in het thesistraject volgen 4 van de eenheden in 594A en 594B (MS-thesis). Het kerncurriculum benadrukt medicijnontdekking, medicijnafgifte en moleculaire farmacologie.
Research
Research can be initiated at any point in the program. Students selecting the non-research master’s track may elect and are encouraged to carry out research in their program.
Thesis/Dissertation
Students may choose between two tracks to complete the Master of Science degree. First, the research track requires that the student carry out a research project during their program. As noted above, research towards the thesis can be begun at any point, though typically this begins during the first semester. The thesis should be about 50 pages.
Second, the non-research, non-thesis Master’s track requires that the student complete 28 units of coursework. Several options regarding the nature and scope of coursework are available.
