Overview

The Pharmacology degree at University of Washington explores the nature of interactions between drugs and biological systems, and their applications to the treatment of disease.

Features

Courses in this field are offered to graduate, medical, dental, pharmacy, nursing, and other interested UW students.

The Graduate Program in the Pharmacology Department is designed to provide the guidance and mentoring necessary for graduate students to finish all course requirements and complete and defend their thesis research within a period of 6 years from matriculation.
In the Winter quarter (Year 2) after entering their thesis lab, students will form and convene their Doctoral Thesis Supervisory Committee to review their progress in preparation for the general exam.

Following completion of the general exam, students are required to meet with their Doctoral Thesis Supervisory Committee at least once every 12 months. The committee and the student develop a definite plan of action for achieving specific goals, which will be summarized in the annual thesis committee report.
Stipend and tuition support extending beyond year 6 are dependent on Thesis Committee approval and the advisor’s research funding or appropriate training grant support.
