Regulatory Science, Certificate, Master's

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), regulatory science is the science of developing new tools, standards, and approaches to assess the safety, efficacy, quality, and performance of FDA-regulated products. The strength of the 30-credit MS program is its science-driven approach to drug and biologic product development and regulation. The program covers regulatory affairs in a global manner, including the application of regulatory principles worldwide. The post-baccalaureate certificate in Regulatory Science consists of the first two courses of the MS program, for a total of 12 credits. Certificate students can apply for the MS program at a later date, if desired, and apply their completed courses towards the MS degree.
