Pharmacology bachelor's degree highlights

Hands-on lab experience.

Unlike many universities, UToledo emphasizes lab work from the start. Undergrads can take research courses early in their pre-professional careers.

Strong, active faculty researchers encourage undergraduates to join them in the lab for independent study projects and internships. UToledo students have published research in scientific journals.

UToledo’s $25-million, LEED-certified pharmacy facility has state-of-the-art classrooms and lab spaces.

Accelerated master’s program. Students in the pharmacology and toxicology program, as well as the medicinal and biological chemistry program, can earn a BS and MS in five years. Graduates also can pursue PhD degrees at UToledo in experimental therapeutics or medicinal chemistry.

A real-world, health-care environment. Pharmaceutical science students spend their final two years on the UToledo’s Health Science Campus — home to the UT Medical Center hospitals, labs and clinics.

Required 10-week internships. These experiences are invaluable when looking for jobs.

Professional career support. All undergraduates take seminars on professional skills and leadership. UToledo’s Institute for Leadership in the Sciences provides:

Education about leadership skills, ethics, effective communication and problem solving

Job search assistance and networking

Interview practice and resume help

Forums and advice on graduate and professional school applications

Path to medical school and other professional degree programs. A bachelor’s degree in pharmaceutical sciences is excellent preparation for medical, dental and veterinary schools and physician assistant (PA) programs, as well as graduate MS and PhD programs.
