Pharmaceutical Biochemistry (MS) – STEM Designated Degree Program

The objective of this program is to provide students with the opportunity to obtain a Master of Science Degree in Pharmaceutical Biochemistry at Montclair State University. Graduates from this program will be prepared for careers in applied research or product development in the pharmaceutical industry and for work in management, inspection, sales and service. Specifically, these graduates will have the requisite skills in biochemistry, drug design and pharmacology to set them on a career path in the pharmaceutical industry. This program is uniquely poised to meet these objectives by providing a core curriculum which closely parallels the drug discovery process followed within the pharmaceutical industry. The core curriculum provides training in the biochemical aspects of drug discovery, drug screening and medicinal chemistry technologies, and pharmacological evaluation of new drug candidates.

The Selection Committee will use your graduate school application when making their decision.

Along with the Pharmaceutical Biochemistry (MS) degree, the department also offers the following options for graduate study: Chemistry, Chemistry (Combined BS/MS), Chemistry (Combined BS/MAT), and Chemistry with Concentration in Biochemistry. Please refer to our programs of study page for a comprehensive list of all of the graduate programs offered within the university.

Curriculum - This program is 32 semester hours. The particular course of study will be developed on an individual basis for each student, so that students with a background in areas other than biochemistry or chemistry can be accommodated by including the necessary biochemical prerequisites before starting the core curriculum.
