Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Undergraduate Degree Programs

The Integrated Bachelor of Science/Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences is a program for undergraduates that enables students to begin taking M.S. coursework in their senior year and receive a Master of Science degree within one year of finishing their undergraduate degree. The B.S. degree is offered by the Schmid College of Science and Technology and the M.S. degree is offered by the School of Pharmacy at the Rinker Health Science Campus in Irvine. The program is open to all undergraduate Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Chemistry, and Biological Sciences majors who meet the admissions requirements. Graduates of the program can pursue a variety of career opportunities in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.

Chapman students can apply to the M.S. program in their junior or senior year. If accepted into a graduate program, undergraduate students may take up to 15 graduate credits that will count towards completion of the undergraduate and graduate degrees. In order to be eligible to enroll in graduate credit as an undergraduate student, a minimum of 90 undergraduate credits must have been completed or will be completed prior to start of the graduate course. These 15 credits can be used to satisfy the undergraduate graduation requirements and count toward the M.S. program. Students would complete the remaining credit hours of graduate course work beginning in the summer after receiving the undergraduate degree. 

Interested students can find out more about the Integrated Bachelor of Science/Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences program in the School of Pharmacy listing in the Chapman University Graduate Catalog or by contacting Dr. Elaine Benaksas Schwartz or Dr. Marco Bisoffi in the Schmid College of Science and Technology.
