Master of Science and Doctor of
Philosophy in Industrial Pharmacy
St. John’s University's College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences is a few miles away from the top pharmaceutical
companies in the world. The primary focus of the graduate program
in Industrial Pharmacy at St. John’s is to prepare students for
careers in research and development in the pharmaceutical industry.
It offers Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in industrial pharmacy; while a
thesis is mandatory for the Ph.D. program, both thesis and
non-thesis options are available for the M.S. degree.
Students specializing in Industrial Pharmacy will acquire a
comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of drug product development
ranging from the selection of new chemical entities (NCE) to the
transfer of fully developed products to pharmaceutical
manufacturing plants. The curriculum includes, theoretical and
technological aspects of preformulation testing, design and
evaluation of conventional and modified release dosage forms and
drug product stability testing.
Full-time faculty members in Industrial Pharmacy, who also act
as mentors, have research interests in several areas including the
development of high-energy solids for poorly water-soluble drugs,
nasal and transderdermal drug delivery and pharmaceutical
processing.
