    Master Programs in Pharmaceutical Science

    Despite popular belief, the study of pharmaceutical science does not prepare individuals to become pharmacists. Rather, it focuses on preparing pupils for positions in the research, marketing, wholesales, administration and regulation of pharmaceutical drugs, all of which are important to provide consumers with safer and more effective drug products. 

    The United States of America commonly called the United States, is a federal republic consisting of fifty states and a federal district.

    Master-level studies involve specialized study in a field of research or an area of professional practice. Earning a master’s degree demonstrates a higher level of mastery of the subject.
    Earning a master’s degree can take anywhere from a year to three or four years. Before you can graduate, you usually must write and defend a thesis, a long paper that is the culmination of your specialized research.
