Description:

At MCPHS, we developed the MS in Regulatory Sciences to meet a pressing professional need. This two-year, full-time STEM program offers rigorous academic training in the science of standards. It explores the latest best practices in determining the safety, efficacy, quality, and performance of drugs, devices, and innovations in the healthcare realm. If you are interested in pursuing a career in regulatory sciences, quality assurance, or quality control, this program was designed for you. It will prepare you for a significant role in any setting that involves developing tools, standards, and assessments of FDA-regulated products. You will have the credentials and confidence to pursue work with federal or state healthcare regulatory agencies as well as clinical research, managed care, or other health-related organizations. While especially valuable when paired with a PharmD degree, this compelling graduate experience provides significant value to anyone in a field requiring expertise in regulatory sciences. A baccalaureate degree or equivalent professional degree is required for admission.
