Cert in Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Administration

The pharmacology certificate introduces the basic concepts of how chemical agents, including drugs, act on biological systems. The grounding it gives is useful for students planning further study and careers in medicine and the health sciences. It is a compact undergraduate credential offered at the Brookings main campus. It suits students who are interested in the health of others, like solving complex problems and enjoy math, chemistry and biology, and who can manage several responsibilities while paying attention to detail. Many participants add it to a pre-health path leading to professional study as a physician, physician assistant or dentist, or to other healthcare professions. Interpersonal and communication skills are valued throughout.
