    PhD Programs in Pharmaceutical Science

    Despite popular belief, the study of pharmaceutical science does not prepare individuals to become pharmacists. Rather, it focuses on preparing pupils for positions in the research, marketing, wholesales, administration and regulation of pharmaceutical drugs, all of which are important to provide consumers with safer and more effective drug products. 

    The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
