Applied Clinical Pharmacology

Applied Clinical Pharmacology (ACP) is a highly customizable, course-based master’s degree program housed within the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology.

Our integrated curriculum incorporates greater breadth of study than a traditional thesis-based degree while still providing meaningful research opportunities. Learners develop scientific, analytical, communication and professionalism skills.

Students complete interactive courses in clinical pharmacology, focusing on drug development, clinical trial design and drug safety, and the application of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles. Throughout the ACP program, students interact with pharmacologists, physicians, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals and trainees, gaining knowledge and skills related to clinical pharmacology and its application.

Small class sizes facilitate individualized programs of study. Students are encouraged to explore a variety of career interests through specialized coursework, a supervised research project, networking events and full-time placements in a variety of workplace settings. Many of our students are offered full-time employment as they approach graduation, resulting from successful job placements during their program.
