Accelerated Master's

Why the Accelerated Master's Program (AMP)?

• Save Time and Money. Students selected for the AMP program take up to 12 graduate units in their senior year, which may double-dip toward both BSPS major requirements and MS degree requirements. 
• A Career Headstart. Courses in areas of Drug Discovery & Development, Pharmacology & Toxicology, Pharmaceutics, and Health & Pharmaceutical Outcomes prepares students for diverse and fulfilling careers in government, industry and academia.
• A Step Toward a PhD. Some graduate courses completed for the MS degree may also apply toward PhD requirements for students who pursue an advanced degree.

How Does the AMP Work? 

• Students in the AMP focus on completing their undergraduate level coures in their first three years. 
• Students apply to the AMP in the spring of their junior year.
• If accepted, students will complete a combination of undergraduate and graduate courses during their fourth year to complete their bachelor’s degree and begin work on the MS degree.
• The AMP is available only to students majoring in Pharmaceutical Sciences.  Students must have a minimum 3.3 cumulative UA GPA and at least 12 Pharmaceutical Sciences major units completed at the time of application to the program.
