Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Pharmaceutical Chemistry] From Michigan Technological University

Pharmaceutical chemists, or medicinal chemists, work on multidisciplinary teams to formulate, test, and analyze drugs; conduct basic and applied research in chemistry to understand drug compounds; and develop guidelines for the US Food and Drug Administration, reviewing new drug applications from pharmaceutical companies and the processes used to create these substances.

With a BS in Pharmaceutical Chemistry from Michigan Tech, you will be prepared to apply your training in chemistry to the process of pharmaceutical synthesis and analysis.

Our degree program in pharmaceutical chemistry will provide you with strong skills in modern chemical techniques, such as computer-aided drug design, and a thorough understanding of biomedical issues. You will explore the molecular basis of biological processes and drug action, as well as the health applications of compounds that affect living tissue.

Chemistry majors learn best in a lab setting. Our degree program will challenge you to reach far beyond classroom chemistry theory and rote experimentation—you’ll quickly learn your way around our advanced labs and equipment, with the majority of your time being spent on conducting research (independently and alongside faculty) and creatively exploring the real-world applications of biochemistry, drug design, computational chemistry, and more.
