College & University Collaborations
The Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology also collaborates with smaller institutions interested in offering pharmacology or toxicology topics to their students.
• Don't have a pharmacologist on faculty, but want your nursing or pre-med students to have a basic pharmacology course?
• Do you want to expand the number of courses available to your graduate students?
Because of our investment in developing online instructional materials, we are able to license rights to existing courses to other institutions or to enter into tuition revenue-sharing agreements. Tuition-sharing agreements allow you to offer students a top-rate course without increasing your faculty's teaching demands since our faculty continue to teach the course. Licensing allows your institution to use MSU's course content, event to import it to your learning management system and tailor it as desired to your program goals. Call us at (517) 353-5479 to learn more about the many options for collaboration.
