This degree program will provide a comprehensive background in regulatory science with the additional training and experience required of regulatory affairs professionals to address federal and state regulatory statutes and laws with emphasis on the Food and Drug Administration. The degree is offered through the collaboration of the College of Sciences and the College of Business Administration.

The degree offering focuses on laws and regulations promulgated by the Federal government, especially the Food and Drug Administration, related to drug discovery, development, testing, and manufacture of products for commercial distribution. Also included are requirements for ongoing post-marketing surveillance. The degree program will provide students with detailed knowledge and understanding of current regulations and their practical application to the development and commercialization of drug, biologics, and medical device products. Also incorporated into the degree program are business administration courses that will provide students with communication and management skills essential for the successful regulatory affairs professional in an industry work environment.

Note that you can enroll in courses before being admitted to the University. However, be aware that we will have to transfer into the program any courses taken before you are officially admitted (matriculated) and only 12 units can be transferred in. So, being that these are 3-unit courses, you need to be admitted before you take your 5th course to ensure that all of your courses (taken out of matriculation) will transfer.
