Elective Courses:

The only specific requirements of the program are those listed above. However, each Ph.D. student must meet minimum requirements of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences with regard to total credit hours of course work. For each Ph.D. student, an individualized program of advanced courses will be organized in consultation with the student's advisory committee and the Program Director. However, some courses are particularly appropriate for students in the Molecular and Systems Pharmacology Program. Following are some recommended courses which might form a portion of a student's advanced course work:
