Courses
The B.S. degree in Toxicology provides a strong foundation for graduate
work leading to a Ph.D. in most biomedical fields. Students may choose
to pursue a Ph.D. degree in Pharmacology, Toxicology, Biochemistry, Physiology,
Pathobiology, Oncology, or Molecular Biology. Alternatively, students prepare
for employment as research technicians, drug/toxicant specialists or pharmaceutical
sales representatives.

Mechanisms
of Disease. A portion of this course is devoted to Environmental Toxicology.
The effects of chemicals and pollutants on biological systems are
discussed. A world wide web- and case study-approach is used. |

Principles
of Toxicology. Principles of Toxicology will explore the mechanisms
and fate of chemical interaction with biological systems. The course
will focus on the biomedical aspects of toxicology, in particular
on toxic responses in humans. With the information gathered from
this class, students will derive an enhanced appreciation for how
foreign chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and environmental agents,
interact with cellular pathways to produce toxicological insult. |

ERM 431 |
Environmental
Toxicology. The course provides an in-depth coverage of how chemicals
are released into the environment, processes by which they are transported
and the resulting effects of exposure on animal health, both on a
population and individual basis. The course will emphasize the ecologic
effects of pollution at the chemical, physical and cellular level |
J. Peters |
Vsc/BMB 433 |
Molecular
and Cellular Toxicology. The course provides an in-depth coverage of
the processes by which drugs and chemicals interact with biological
systems and the experimental approaches used to study these interactions.
The course will emphasize the chemical, physical and cellular basis
of toxic responses and the molecular basis of drug and chemical action. |
