How to Apply

PhD Program in Pharmacology and Toxicology

Our department does not directly admit PhD students. Students generally enter the PhD Program in Pharmacology and Toxicology through the Bioscience PhD Programs of Biological Chemistry or Molecular Biology or via the Interdepartmental Program in Neuroscience. Students complete their first year in Bioscience or Neuroscience, and typically rotate in Pharmacology and Toxicology labs during their first year. At the end of the first year, they are able to join a PharmTox lab. 

Master's Program in Pharmacology and Toxicology

We are accepting applications for a 1 year Master's Program in Pharmacology and Toxicology; the inaugural program cohort began Fall 2025. The application deadline for the Fall 2026 cohort is January 15, 2026.
