Pharmaceutical Chemistry Major

Pharmaceutical chemistry drives the production of new drugs that fight disease and promote healthier, more active lives. Saint Joseph’s is the only university in the region offering a bachelor’s degree in pharmaceutical chemistry. As a pharmaceutical chemistry major, you’ll learn all aspects of drug development, from initial design to delivery. You’ll gain valuable, hands-on experience and use sophisticated equipment in laboratory courses such as Pharmaceutical Analytical Chemistry and Chemical Synthesis. You’ll also have the opportunity to intern and conduct research under the supervision of a faculty member and an industrial/governmental scientist.
