The Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology Emphasis Program is designed for students interested in applying for professional programs, such as Pharmacy School, Medical School, and Dental School, or for students wishing to pursue Graduade School in focus areas such as Medicinal Chemistry, Biochemistry, Cancer Research, Toxicology, and Pharmacology. Thus, the entry requirements for several medical schools, dental schools, pharmacy schools, and graduate programs, nation-wide, have served as the basis for the development of this program.\u00a0 This has resulted in a multi-dischiplinary degree plan that incorporates key elements of the chemical, physical, and biological sciences. The primary focus of this program is to apply chemistry to the study ob biologically and clinically active substances.\u00a0 Course study will focus on biological and pharmacological molecular toxicology and the biological mechanisms of drug action, molecular graphics and rational drug design, quantitative structure-activity relationships, organic chemistry, molecular biology, and analytical chemistry techniques used in natural product isolation and drug development.<\/span><\/p>\n

Students majoring in this emphasis area will receive a B.S. or B.A. degree in Chemistry with a minor in Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology – Natural Sciences Track.\u00a0 This degree plan provides a broad education in both the biological and chemical sciences, requiring 39 credits of biology coursework and 64 credits of chemistry coursework.\u00a0 The Natural Sciences Track minor option may be taken by majors in scientific disciplines other than Chemistry providing that they complete the General Chemistry Series, CH221-223.\u00a0 The Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology Minor – Health and Community Track will provide a scientific foundation in biological chemistry for students majoring in the Health Sciences, Computer Sciences, Gerontology, Psychology, or other health-related programs.\u00a0 Emphasis-specific courses will also provide elective course offerings that will be of high interest and relevance to Nursing majors. Students earning a B.S. Degree in Chemistry with a Concentration in Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology must complete the Core Chemistry Coursework<\/a> and the Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology Concentration Coursework below:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
