The undergraduate Toxicology program consists of a four-year curriculum which includes a solid foundation in basic sciences, a broad background in the science of Toxicology with several highly specialized courses, and sufficient courses in other areas to provide the student with a well rounded education. The concept of a broad background with certain specialized courses is intended to allow the graduate to fit into any of several aspects of toxicology, including industrial hazard control, environmental pollution control, product safety assessment, forensic toxicology, and toxicology research.

The Toxicology major can also be used to fulfill the Pre-Pharmacy requirements for admission to Pharmacy School.Students pursuing admission to Pharmacy School will follow the 3-year Pre-Pharmacy curriculum listed in the undergraduate catalog.

If a student at any time should decide against pursuing admission to Pharmacy School or fails to be admitted, the student may choose to continue to pursue a Toxicology undergraduate degree by choosing one of the aforementioned Toxicology topic areas or choose to pursue a degree other than Toxicology. Transfer students who have completed BIOL 2020, BIOL 2040 and/or BIOL 3005 of the Pre-Pharmacy curriculum may substitute one or more of these courses for the 9 elective hours required in any of the aforementioned Toxicology topic areas.
