The Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences (BSPS) program at the Duquesne University School of Pharmacy gives students the opportunity to engage in pharmaceutical research and pursue one of four tracks: pharmacology, pharmaceutics, medicinal chemistry, or pharmacy administration.
Students in the BSPS program apply principles and theories of chemistry, biology, biochemistry and engineering in designing and developing new drugs and therapies and gain a theoretical and technical grounding in the natural sciences and graduate ready for a career in the pharmaceutical industry, regulatory agencies or for further academic studies including pharmacy–including transitioning into the Pharm.D. program, medicine, dentistry, law, M.S. and Ph.D. programs and more!
"One of the things that excites me about Duquesne is we are number two in the nation
for private colleges of pharmacy in terms of funding. That funding allows our researchers
to expand the science that we do here, and it also brings a number of opportunities
for our students to work with these cutting-edge scientists in projects that will
shape medicine for years to come," Carl Anderson, Ph.D., Assistant Dean for Graduate Programs and Research says. "By doing research, a student will earn their Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical
Sciences degree that could reflect medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, pharmaceutics
or pharmacy administration. You will work with our faculty on their world-class research;
you can share that passion with your professors and help shape the world of pharmaceutical
sciences."
