Regulatory affairs personnel are the first-line assurance that company products and documentation are in accordance with regulatory bodies worldwide. The Professional Program in Regulatory Affairs reviews FDA regulations and other guidelines, Good Pharmaceutical Practice (GXP) principles and ethical considerations covering the development of drugs and dossiers for clinical trials and licensure, and provides the training to manage these activities.

Additional coursework draws from the related functional areas of clinical research, product and process development, manufacturing and supply chain, and quality and compliance. Many required courses apply to multiple programs, allowing you to earn credit while you find the curriculum that's right for you.
