Master’s Degree
To help you plan your coursework effectively and maximize your learning experience, we suggest the following sequence:
- Take PHA 6125 (Introduction to Quantitative Pharmacology) during your first summer semester: This course is a prerequisite for several core courses – PHA 6122 (Population PK/PD), PHA 6131 (PBPK Modeling), and PHA 6123 (QSP Modeling). Since PHA 6125 is not offered every semester, we recommend taking it at your earliest opportunity.
- Plan to take PHA 6418 (Introduction to Model-Informed Drug Development) in your second year: This course is based on real-world case examples and will be most beneficial if you are already familiar with the methodologies covered in earlier courses.
- For students interested in Pharmacoeconomics electives: Start with PHA 6283 (Introduction to Pharmacoeconomics), which is a prerequisite for PHA 6806 (Pharmacoeconomic Modeling).
Below is an example of course planning for students joining during the 2025–2026 academic years. Please feel free to create your own plan based on your schedule and interests.
