Master of Physiology for Therapeutic Development (MaPTD)

University of Illinois Chicago

The MaPTD is a one-year program that provides students with advanced training in human physiological sciences and enhanced preparation for professional careers in the health sciences, particularly in the biopharmaceutical industry. By providing a program based in human physiology-one of the most important basic areas of the health sciences-the curriculum will not only provide graduate-level education, but will also help students attain lucrative positions in the broad biopharmaceutical industry. The program will also considerably enhance the academic credentials of the students, helping them to gain admission into professional schools or obtain work in academia or biotechnology.
