Master of Science in Medicinal Chemistry (MS)

In this program at our Boston campus, you’ll have the opportunity to work alongside professional experts in modern laboratories and learn how to design, synthesize, analyze, and test potential new drug compounds. You’ll study how chemical substances behave at a molecular level and how the chemical properties affect drug kinetics, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. You’ll also participate in research directed toward a fuller understanding of pharmacological actions that leads to improved drug design. The curriculum also includes opportunities to apply for an optional thesis or participate in internships in some of the most prestigious Boston-area pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.
