The objective of this program is to provide students with the opportunity to obtain a Master of Science Degree in Pharmaceutical Biochemistry at Montclair State University. Graduates from this program will be prepared for careers in applied research or product development in the pharmaceutical industry and for work in management, inspection, sales and service. Specifically, these graduates will have the requisite skills in biochemistry, drug design and pharmacology to set them on a career path in the pharmaceutical industry. This program is uniquely poised to meet these objectives by providing a core curriculum which closely parallels the drug discovery process followed within the pharmaceutical industry. The core curriculum provides training in the biochemical aspects of drug discovery, drug screening and medicinal chemistry technologies, and pharmacological evaluation of new drug candidates.
