Description:

In this PhD program at either our Boston and Worcester campuses, you'll pursue research and elective topics related to the materials and technologies associated with pharmaceutical product development, manufacture, and evaluation. As you study the various dosage forms and the release of drugs with corresponding pharmacokinetics--the process by which a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated by the body--you'll also have the opportunity to take other courses in a variety of topics, including analytical chemistry, business administration, or drug regulatory affairs. Throughout the program, you'll work alongside professional experts in some of the world's most advanced laboratories. The program starts in the fall.
