Program Description
-------------------
Program Description:
Founded in 2004, our Pharmaceutical Sciences with an emphasis on Pharmaceutics/Drug Development (MSDD) program provides individuals a formal opportunity to further their knowledge in drug development.

A collaboration between academia, industry, and government, the Master’s in Drug Development provides cross-disciplinary training in the scientific, regulatory, and business aspects of drug development. Graduates are uniquely prepared to participate in the multidisciplinary process to translate a therapeutic concept from lab bench to bedside.

Along with our MSDD program, we offer two graduate certificate programs, including Clinical Trials Design & Research and Global Regulatory Affairs in Drug Development. These three options are all online, asynchronous and available to part-time and full-time students.
