概述
南加州大学药学院多学科硕士学位课程的毕业生受到学术界、工业界和政府领先机构的追捧。药物科学理学硕士强调药物递送和靶向方面的基础和应用研究，利用药物化学、计算化学、药剂学、药代动力学、药效学、免疫学以及分子和细胞生物学。
Requirements for Degree Completion
Units Required
毕业需要至少 24 个课程单元（请参阅下面的课程设置），总共 28 个单元。所有学生都参加 12 个单元或核心课程（PSCI 501-503）加上一个 4 论文课程的学生参加 594A 和 594B（MS 论文）中的 4 个单元。核心课程强调药物发现、药物输送和分子药理学。
Research
Research can be initiated at any point in the program. Students selecting the non-research master’s track may elect and are encouraged to carry out research in their program.
Thesis/Dissertation
Students may choose between two tracks to complete the Master of Science degree. First, the research track requires that the student carry out a research project during their program. As noted above, research towards the thesis can be begun at any point, though typically this begins during the first semester. The thesis should be about 50 pages.
Second, the non-research, non-thesis Master’s track requires that the student complete 28 units of coursework. Several options regarding the nature and scope of coursework are available.
