PhD in Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Administration

The doctoral program in pharmaceutical sciences gives students access to faculty with established research records across drug discovery, clinical study and applied drug research. Doctoral candidates pursue focused research in one of several specialty areas. Doctoral study emphasizes independent investigation and scientific communication. Specialty options range from natural product chemistry to toxicity studies, with formulation science and drug outcomes research in between. Classes are offered on the Kingston campus. Each track connects laboratory work with real questions about medicines. Prospective students should consult the course schedule, course descriptions and catalog information to understand requirements. The department website provides additional guidance on faculty research. Candidates often plan a timeline that reflects the dissertation process. Faculty research interests help students select a mentor early.
