The University of Maryland School of Pharmacy offers a variety of academic programs that provide strong foundations in pharmacy while developing scholars in basic and applied research.
Choose a program below to learn more about it.
The four-year Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy offers a curriculum that is both rigorous and flexible. The program combines basic and applied science, as well as an in-depth therapeutics course of study, to provide future generations of pharmacists with the knowledge and skills that they will need to become essential contributors to a dynamic health care arena.
The PhD in Pharmaceutical Health Services Research (PHSR) program
helps students gain the theory, practical experience, and
decision-making skills necessary to obtain highly competitive
positions and improve health among diverse populations through
pursuing research in one of five areas — comparative effectiveness
research, health behavior research, pharmaceutical policy,
pharmacoeconomics, and pharmacoepidemiology.
Core courses for the MS in PHSR program are identical to those in the PhD
program, and are taken alongside doctoral students. While the doctoral students
go on to take additional courses, students in the MS in PHSR program can
complete their courses in as little as two years.
The PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences Program at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy offers students outstanding opportunities to be part of cutting-edge biomedical and pharmaceutical research.
Our graduate students benefit from collaborative research that covers the spectrum of molecular biology, biochemistry, structural biology, drug design, drug synthesis, pharmacology, drug delivery, nanomedicine, formulation, pharmacokinetics, and clinical trials.
The MS in Pharmacometrics is an online program designed for working professionals that combines theoretical and applied technical knowledge with business skills tailored for the pharmaceutical sector to help individuals acquire the knowledge and skills needed to plan, perform, and interpret pharmacometric analyses, with the goal of influencing key drug development, regulatory, and therapeutic decisions.
The MS in Regulatory Science online program provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to contribute to drug regulation and pharmaceutical product life cycles. The program primarily focuses on drugs and biologics, and covers all major areas of drug product regulatory science, including chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC); clinical research; pharmacovigilance; Phase IV research (pharmacoepidemiology); and drug discovery.
The University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, in partnership with the University of Maryland Medical Center, offers pharmacy residencies and fellowship programs in a wide array of specialties. The programs provide innovative educational, research, and practice settings in which residents and fellows can gain the knowledge and skills that they need to become successful practicing pharmacists and obtain competitive positions in their respective fields.
