PHS 301. ADVANCED PHARMACEUTICS THREE CREDITS An overview of the various dosage forms used in the pharmaceutical industry and their manufacture. Particular emphasis will be placed on the excipients used and the manufacturing process and how these affect the physical and chemical nature of the dosage form. Prerequisite: CHM 251 & CHM 252. PHS 331. MEDICAL ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY I FOUR CREDITS Same as PHA 331. PHS 332. MEDICAL ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY II FOUR CREDITS Same as PHA 332. PHS 365. MEDICAL BIOCHEMISTRY FOUR CREDITS Same as PHA 365. PHS 408. CLINICAL RESEARCH DESIGN THREE CREDITS Same as PHA 310. PHS 413. HETEROGENEOUS PHARMACEUTICAL SYSTEMS TWO CREDITS An introduction to the design of heterogeneous systems as dosage forms. Emphasis will be placed on the physical and chemical evaluation of creams, lotions, emulsions, suspensions, semisolids and aerosols. Prerequisite: CHM 251 & CHM 252, & PHS 301. PHS 414. PHARMACEUTICAL REGULATORY AFFAIRS TWO CREDITS An introduction to the regulation of the pharmaceutical industry by the Food and Drug Administration. It will focus on the requirements for product approval by the FDA and for the establishment of Good Manufacturing Practices and Good Laboratory Practices. Prerequisite: Permission of Instructor. PHS 415. SOLID DOSAGE FORMS TWO CREDITS An introduction to the design and manufacture of traditional oral solid dosage forms and the design of sustained/controlled release dosage forms. Prerequisite: CHM 251 & CHM 252, PHS 301. PHS 416. OPERATION OF QUALITY CONTROL SYSTEMS TWO CREDITS An introduction to the design and operation of quality control or quality assurance systems. Prerequisite: CHM 251 & CHM 252, PHS 301. PHS 417. BIOPHARMACEUTICS AND PHARMACOKINETICS THREE CREDITS An introduction to the principles of biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics. The focus is on understanding the effect of dosage form design and selection on the therapeutic outcomes. The selection of the correct mathematical model to describe the fate of a drug substance in the body will also be covered. Prerequisite: PHS 301, PHA 331 & PHA 332. PHS 418. EXTERNSHIP IN PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURE EIGHT CREDITS This is the capstone course for the BS in Pharmaceutical Sciences in which the classroom experiences are integrated and applied to a drug development project in a pharmaceutical company or a quality assurance testing laboratory at the Food and Drug Administration. Prerequisite: PHS 301, PHS 413, PHS 414, PHS 415, PHS 416 & PHS 417. PHS 498. SENIOR RESEARCH PROJECT THREE CREDITS The planning and execution of a formulation project under the direction of a faculty mentor. It is expected that students will search the literature and patent records, design a series of experiments and eventually develop a formula and method of manufacture that will be commercially viable. Prerequisite: PHS 301, PHS 413, PHS 414, PHS 415, PHS 416 & PHS 417.
