    A doctorate in pharmaceutical sciences prepares one for a career in either academic or industrial environments of the pharmaceutical sciences. Candidates for the Ph.D. degree from the University of South Carolina will conduct original research and contribute to the literature surrounding their area of expertise. Therefore, all Ph.D. candidates must submit a thesis or dissertation as appropriate, as well as author research papers and manuscripts for publication.
    
    Candidates will embark on research training in the College of Pharmacy's Department of Drug Discovery and Biomedical Sciences (DDBS) that encompasses understanding disease mechanisms and drug toxicity and the design and development of pharmaceutical and anti-cancer agents. This physical and biological sciences training applies to health-related research, and degree holders can pursue extensive career options in academia, pharmaceutical, biotechnology companies, or government agencies.
    
    Graduates of the Pharmaceutical Outcomes Sciences Concentration (CPOS) are expected to be pharmaceutical scientists. Therefore, students are exposed to interdisciplinary training and education while seeking an advanced degree in pharmaceutical sciences. Candidates with an advanced degree(s) in pharmaceutical sciences will be prepared for various career choices that include teaching and research at academic institutions, research in the pharmaceutical industry, pharmaceutical sales, governmental regulatory agencies, and health care consulting, among others.
