Regulatory Science, Master of Science at Johns Hopkins University

As the biomedical industry continues to grow, more companies are developing and commercializing new products. There are thousands of biomedical products in the development pipeline that require regulatory oversight. Many of the companies providing reagents and supplies to the industry must also provide stringent quality controls to ensure compliance with the Food and Drug Administration’s Current Good Manufacturing Practices and Quality Systems Regulations. These companies will continue to require trained and educated staffing in regulatory science.

Students entering this program will have completed the prerequisite courses in biochemistry and cell biology, and must undertake seven required core regulatory courses. Students then may focus in an area of regulatory science of their choice through elective courses, including advanced regulatory and science courses. Students receive practical, hands-on, real-life regulatory science experience through case study assignments and a unique practicum course at the end of the program, which distinguishes this program as a leader in graduate, regulatory science education. Students completing this regulatory science program are expected to become regulatory science leaders in government and industry.
