Toxicology Program (TOXI)

The program in Toxicology is University-wide, using faculty and resources at the College Park, Baltimore City and County, and Eastern Shore campuses, as well as the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory of the Center for Environmental and Estuarine Studies. The Program's objectives are to provide educational and professional training opportunities in fundamental and applied fields of toxicology leading to Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Graduates from this Program will be highly qualified to conduct research, teach, and provide services to federal, state, and local governments, industry, labor, and the public.

Laboratory and lecture courses are offered in both basic and applied aspects of toxicology (occupational, environmental, clinical, analytical, and regulatory) as well as in biochemistry, chemistry, epidemiology, pharmacology, pathology, and biostatistics. Every effort is made to individualize the student's program and to encourage students to take advantage of appropriate graduate courses at all University of Maryland campuses.

Specialization at the doctoral level will be available in various areas such as aquatic and marine toxicology, neurotoxicology, occupational toxicology, environmental toxicology, regulatory toxicology, drug toxicology, and others depending on the interest of the student.
