The graduate program in pharmacology will be offered to the student who has been admitted to both the graduate program in the Division of Pharmacology and to Rush Medical College, and who elects to begin both programs of study in the same year. During the first two years, the student will complete the required Rush Medical College curriculum. The student will then interrupt Rush Medical College enrollment and concentrate full-time on graduate studies in the Division of Pharmacology. When the graduate work is complete, the student will continue with the clerkship program in Rush Medical College. The student will be strongly encouraged to begin a research program during the summer before coursework begins. Research can be included in the curriculum at any time. During this time, the student will complete the required coursework, enroll in advanced or elective courses, present and defend a suitable dissertation proposal, complete dissertation research, and present and defend an acceptable dissertation. The PhD degree will be awarded by The Graduate College upon the successful completion of this training program. Students who are admitted to the Division of Pharmacology graduate program and to Rush Medical College, but who do not begin these study programs at the same time, may also benefit from this combined curriculum. An individual study program which includes available aspects of this curriculum can be designed for such students. Students who enter this program are subject to the full conditions and requirements of both colleges.
