Introduction

The biomedical industry has grown rapidly, and this has fueled a large — and largely unmet — demand for regulatory professionals, both nationally and internationally. The USC Master’s in Regulatory Science program arose to meet this growing need.

As one of the nation’s oldest and largest regulatory science programs, graduates are in great demand and are employed in industry, government, consulting, and academia. Our alumni are leaders in a field designed to meet industry and governmental challenges in speeding up the delivery of medical advances to people who need them while ensuring that safety standards are met.

Courses are offered on weekends to accommodate working professionals. Students set their own pace, taking as many courses as they wish to take each semester. Career support is offered to all students and alumni, including recruitment events, career fairs, and regular distribution of job postings from companies nationally and internationally.

On-site/Distance Program

On-site Program: Get to know more about the Regulatory Science on-site program

Courses can be taken onsite and our program offices and classrooms are located on the USC Health Sciences Campus in downtown Los Angeles, California. Onsite courses are typically held on the weekends so that working professionals can attend courses while working full-time during weekdays. Students attending class onsite have the chance to interact with the speakers, faculty, and fellow students. Coming to class is a great networking experience which allows the formation of important relationships with those with similar backgrounds in the field of Regulatory Science. Breakfast and lunch are served each day.

Distance Program

USC Distance Courses were created for busy professionals who wish to further their education but cannot travel to traditional classrooms. We have successfully delivered programs to students across the US for more than fifteen years.

Our online courses are taught by the same academic experts who teach in the traditional classroom and students participate in the same classes as students who attend onsite. Online coursework allows students to work independently and absorb new concepts at their own pace. At the same time, there is a great deal of personal contact with fellow classmates and with professors. Lectures can be viewed in “real-time” or at another time that may be more convenient.

Online students receive administrative support, academic and career services from the Regulatory Science staff and faculty.
