Industrial Chemistry Certificate of Graduate Study

Program Overview

The Industrial Chemistry Certificate of Graduate Study (C.O.G.S.) is intended for students with a background in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biological Sciences, and/or Chemical Engineering who wish to understand chemical industry procedures and practices generally employed in pharmaceutical drug development. Prospective students may be recent graduates of a bachelor's degree program, or they may be older professionals seeking to update their skills. The certificate may be earned on its own, or it can be credited towards the Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences.

Graduates from this certificate program may find employment in the chemical/pharmaceutical industry upon graduation. Others could enter advanced graduate (Ph.D.) or professional degree (M.D./D.O./D.M.D./Pharm.D.) programs upon graduating from this C.O.G.S. program.
