Founded in 2014, the Clinical Trials Design and Research Graduate Certificate provides individuals a formal opportunity to further their knowledge in clinical trial design.

Along with our Clinical Trials Design and Research certificate, we offer a Masters in Pharmaceutical Sciences with an emphasis on Pharmaceutics/Drug Development as well as the Global Regulatory Affairs in Drug Development certificate. These three options are all online, asynchronous and available to part-time and full-time students.

All credits taken as part of this certificate may be subsequently applied toward the Masters in Drug Development Sciences.

Why study Clinical Trials Design and Research?

Students take this program to deepen their knowledge of various aspects of drug development, including regulatory, pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, medical device, contract research organizations, contract laboratories, manufacturing, as well as academic health centers and research institutions.

Many students come from companies in the drug development field with different backgrounds. Whether you have a pharmacy, medical, nursing, biology, neuroscience, or business, an MSDD degree can advance your career in all phases of research from preclinical to clinical and beyond.
