Bachelor [Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology] From Western Oregon University

Thus, the entry requirements for several medical schools, dental schools, pharmacy schools, and graduate programs, nation-wide, have served as the basis for the development of this program.? This has resulted in a multi-dischiplinary degree plan that incorporates key elements of the chemical, physical, and biological sciences. The primary focus of this program is to apply chemistry to the study ob biologically and clinically active substances.? Course study will focus on biological and pharmacological molecular toxicology and the biological mechanisms of drug action, molecular graphics and rational drug design, quantitative structure-activity relationships, organic chemistry, molecular biology, and analytical chemistry techniques used in natural product isolation and drug development.

Students majoring in this emphasis area will receive a B.S. or B.A. degree in Chemistry with a minor in Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology ? Natural Sciences Track.? This degree plan provides a broad education in both the biological and chemical sciences, requiring 39 credits of biology coursework and 64 credits of chemistry coursework.? The Natural Sciences Track minor option may be taken by majors in scientific disciplines other than Chemistry providing that they complete the General Chemistry Series, CH221-223.? The Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology Minor ? Health and Community Track will provide a scientific foundation in biological chemistry for students majoring in the Health Sciences, Computer Sciences, Gerontology, Psychology, or other health-related programs.? Emphasis-specific courses will also provide elective course offerings that will be of high interest and relevance to Nursing majors.
