Toxicology
at ULM The University of Louisiana at Monroe Toxicology Program was the first of its kind in the South and is currently one of only six nationally. The Toxicology Program is administered by the Department of Toxicology within the College of Pharmacy. The Toxicology curriculum consists of a four-year program designed to include a solid foundation in basic sciences, a broad background in Toxicology with several specialized courses and sufficient non-science courses to provide the student with a well-rounded education. The toxicology coursework spans the field of clinical, environmental, and industrial toxicology. Within the field of Industrial Toxicology, special emphasis is given to Industrial Hygiene theory and practice. Opportunities exist for qualified students majoring in toxicology to participate in toxicology research through the ULM Emerging Scholars program or through the Department of Toxicology internship program. These programs allow students to work under the direction of a faculty researcher and contribute to his/her research program. In this setting, the student will also have the opportunity to work with advanced doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows in addition to the faculty scientist. Applications for admission to the Toxicology Program must meet the general admission requirements of the University. Both freshmen and transfer students are encouraged to apply. Applications are to be submitted to the University Admissions Office.
