The Program is designed to provide a coherent set of courses to introduce science-oriented students to the fields of pharmacology and toxicology.

Minor Requirements

The Minor requires completion of 15 credits that can be a subset of the undergraduate requirements for students in the Colleges of Natural Science, Lyman Briggs, and Nursing, as well as electives in many other Bachelor of Science majors. Course credits for the Minor in Pharmacology & Toxicology may also be used to satisfy requirements for a student's major (Please consult your major advisor to confirm applicability). Even without joining the Undergraduate Minor Program, students may choose to enroll in one or more Pharmacology and Toxicology courses as major degree electives.
