Course description
Toxicology is the study of injurious effects of chemicals on living organisms. Toxicologists are responsible for determining hazards from exposure to chemicals, setting limits of safety, identification and measurement of toxic chemicals by analysis, recommendations on safe use of chemicals and recommendations of clinical hazards and treatment of drug overdoses and chemical exposure.
Graduates with a Master's degree in Toxicology are employed in federal and state government, biotechnology, pharmaceutical/chemical industry, and environmental consulting firms.
