Simp- kins. The College of Pharmacy offers the Doctor of Philoso- phy and the Master of Science in Pharmacy degrees in the pharmaceutical sciences, with specialization in medici- nal chemistry and pharmacy which includes pharmaceu- tics, pharmacodynamics, pharmacy health care admini- stration and hospital pharmacy administration (M.S.P. only). Mastr of Science in Pharmacy degree studies specializing in hospital pharmacy administration are supervised jointly by the Department of Pharmacy Health Care Administration and the Department of Pharmacy Practice. The graduate faculty and courses offered are listed under department headings in this Catalog. The courses listed below consist of seminar, supervised teaching, and research for thesis or doctoral dissertation. These courses are offered in each of the departments except the Depart- ment of Pharmacy. Practice. For specific information on courses in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry please see page 132. This depart- ment is within the College of Pharmacy. Students who wish to pursue graduate studies in the Departments of Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmaceutics, Pharmacodynamics, and Pharmacy Health Care Admini- stration must have an undergraduate degree in pharmacy, chemistry, biology, or related sciences. Students who wish to concentrate their study in hospital pharmacy administration must have either a Doctor of Pharmacy or Bachelor of Science ih Pharmacy degree and be a licensed pharmacist. Satisfactory completion of a thesis or dissertation based on research is a requirement for a graduate degree in the pharmaceutical sciences. Inquiries regarding applications and general informa- tion about the graduate programs are processed through the Office of Research and Graduate Studies.
