What is an appropriate Master's degree to get if your final goal is a Ph.D. in Pharmacology?
Hi everyone!
I am a college graduate with a B.A. in psychology and cognitive studies. I learned that I wanted to study pharmacology late into my college career so I could not make any changes to my major. All the programs I see for pharmacology are Ph.D.s which require some sort of science background whether it's biology or chemistry. If a Ph.D. in pharmacology (specifically neuropharmacology) is my end goal, how could I get there? What Master's program would be appropriate?
Thanks!

If you want to do neuropharmacology, then neuroscience would be the obvious master's to get. BUT you'll need biology and chemistry just to get into a neuroscience grad program.
Your best bet is to take those pre-req sciences in a post-baccalaureate certificate program, then go right into the pharm Ph.D. program. You don't need a master's on the way to the Ph.D.
