Master of Science in Regulatory Affairs and Health Policy

The bottom line for all healthcare regulations and policies is to keep patients safe. In this program, you’ll build on your previous bachelor’s degree to advance your training in the law and regulation of healthcare, drugs, devices, and biologics, as well as health policy.

Over the course of approximately two years, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from executives with experience in drugs, devices and biologics, healthcare, and policy online and in face-to-face settings. When you graduate, you’ll have firsthand experience on how to navigate and uphold the regulatory and legal environment in vital capacities, such as helping pharmaceutical companies gain FDA approval or assisting regulatory agencies develop healthcare policies. And you’ll be fully prepared to advance as a leader in the industry.
