| MS in Medicinal Chemistry“We get to broaden our horizons and actually see what it would be like to work in an actual industrial pharmaceutical lab. I get to carry out different organic chemistry reactions. I get to test those molecules in order to see whether the molecules I’m synthesizing actually have some potential.”

| Professor/Interim Dean, Forsyth School of Dental Hygiene“MCPHS is a wonderful place to study dental hygiene. We’re in the heart of a renowned medical community, and our students benefit from the long-standing affiliations we have with some of the world’s best hospitals and public health clinics. Dental hygiene students gain experience in these extraordinary environments and provide care to underserved populations.”

| MS in Nursing“The faculty really get that in most cases, they’re teaching adult learners. Everybody that you have as a professor is still currently working as a nurse, so as they’re teaching the content, they’re practicing what they preach.”
