B.S.P.S. Program for Pharmaceutics (PHAR) Option

Pharmaceutics is a multidisciplinary applied science which studies the physical and chemical attributes of drugs. It places a strong emphasis on the design and evaluation of drug delivery systems and dosage forms and also on the understanding and control of the factors influencing clinical response to drug therapy.

Career Opportunities: The breadth and depth of the program prepare students for a wide range of career opportunities. Graduates can work as drug analysts, manufacturing/production technologists, quality control inspectors, technical writers, sales representatives, and research associates in the pharmaceutical industry, cosmetic industry, hospitals, and university settings. Graduates can also move on to graduate studies in the field, medical school, or other professional school.

Salary: Starting salaries generally range between $30,000 to $50,000 depending on career path and qualifications of the applicants.
