Pharmacology

About the Program

Georgetown University’s M.S. in Pharmacology program is a one-year, non-thesis degree program for students interested in continuing on to further education (Ph.D., medical and other health sciences) or in taking positions as researchers, scientists and science professionals in the public and private spheres, such as at the NIH, FDA, pharmaceutical companies, biotech companies and university laboratories. The program’s curriculum consists of two components: a rigorous set of core courses focused on pharmacology, biochemistry and physiology, and elective credits for each student to tailor the program to their interests.

Our department offers a comprehensive and rigorous Ph.D. program. Pharmacology, the study of the effects of drugs and chemicals on living organisms, is inherently interdisciplinary and builds on the strengths of physiology, biochemistry, cell biology, neuroscience and molecular biology. Our faculty and students, using drugs and chemicals as tools, probe the molecular machinery of living systems in order to understand how cellular and organ systems function and how they are regulated.
