Introduction
As a clinical researcher, you bring the latest breakthroughs from the lab to the world. In this program, you’ll build on your undergraduate degree to develop, conduct, and monitor clinical trials on either a patient-based clinical research track or an industry-related track.
During this flexible program, you can study part-time or full-time, online or on-campus in less than two years. You’ll learn from executives with experience in drugs, devices and biologics, healthcare and policy, in face-to-face settings. You’ll graduate with broad knowledge of clinical research topics, including bioethics and regulations, product (drug, device, biologic, etc.) development, biostatistics, research methodology, protocol design, proposal development, clinical trial management, and regulatory affairs. And you’ll join a substantial network of alumni who work in the industry as you build your career.
