The Undergraduate Pharmaceutical Science Program at Indiana Institute of Technology (Indiana Tech) is a multidisciplinary course of study designed to provide students with a strong foundation in the scientific, ethical, and professional aspects of pharmaceutical discovery, development, and application. Students in this program will develop a deep understanding of core scientific principles underpinning modern pharmacy and drug research, including pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics, and toxicology. They will also gain the analytical and technical skills needed to design and interpret research, evaluate ethical considerations, and communicate findings effectively across diverse audiences.
Throughout their studies at Indiana Tech, students engage in coursework and laboratory experiences emphasizing critical thinking, problem-solving, and evidence-based decision-making. The integrative curriculum encourages learners to explore the broader cultural, economic, and social factors influencing healthcare systems and drug innovation worldwide. This global perspective and interdisciplinary approach prepare students to work in teams that may include scientists, healthcare providers, policy makers, and business professionals.
Reflecting the rapidly evolving nature of the pharmaceutical science, the program fosters a commitment to lifelong learning, professional development, and innovation. Students are encouraged to stay informed of current research, emerging technologies, and best practices. Upon successful completion of this Bachelor of Science degree, graduates will not only be prepared for a variety of career pathways such as roles in drug development, regulatory affairs, clinical research, or further academic pursuits but will also receive dual acceptance into Manchester University’s Doctorate in Pharmaceutical Science and Pharmacogenomics program. This unique opportunity provides a seamless transition into advanced study, allowing graduates to deepen their expertise, advance their careers, and contribute meaningfully to the improvement of human health through the responsible development and delivery of pharmaceuticals.
