193.15.1 Honors in Pharmacology
The program leading to an Honors degree in Pharmacology prepares students for advanced study leading to academic or research careers.
Continuation and graduation in the Honors in Pharmacology program requires successful completion of 
30 with a minimum 3.3 GPA, a minimum 3.3 GPA on all Science courses taken and a minimum grade of B+ in each PMCOL course taken in each previous Fall/Winter.

193.15.2 Specialization in Pharmacology
The program leading to a Specialization degree in Pharmacology is for students who want to pursue further studies in the health sciences and those who want to prepare for a career in the Pharmaceutical industry. Although not as rigorous as an Honors program, the Specialization program is a solid background for advanced study leading to a career in academia or research.
Continuation and graduation in the Specialization in Pharmacology program requires successful completion of at least 24 with a minimum 2.7 GPA, a minimum 2.7 GPA on all Science courses taken and a minimum 2.7 GPA on all PMCOL courses taken in each previous Fall/Winter.

193.15.3 Industrial Internship Program
An Industrial Internship Program, similar to a co-op program, is offered to students in the Specialization or Honors programs in Pharmacology (see §193.1.9 for guidelines to the program). The Industrial Internship designation will appear on the degree parchments of students who have participated in the program.
Students approved to enter this stream register for a continuous sequence of Science Work Experience courses (WKEXP 955, 956, 957, 958), starting in May, September or January. During the program, students are considered full-time students of the University. Work experience courses have no weight and are graded credit/no credit, and recorded on the student's transcript.
The Industrial Internship Program Advisor maintains contact at regular intervals with the student and the person designated by the employer to be responsible for the student's progress. This arrangement ensures satisfaction on all sides. If a review shows the situation is not satisfactory, the internship may be terminated and the student will then return to classes at the next available opportunity.
The graduation requirements for the Industrial Internship program designation include successful completion of at least WKEXP 955 and 956 plus PMCOL 400. PMCOL 400 must be taken in the first term immediately following completion of the WKEXP period. If required by the employer, the student's written report and oral presentation in PMCOL 400 may be classified confidential. The employer also assesses the student's performance during the work term. Based on the student's written report and oral presentation, and the report from the employer, students are awarded a grade in PMCOL 400.
Interested students should see the Industrial Internship Advisor in the Department of Pharmacology for more information.
