Master of Science in Clinical Research Organization and Management

About the Program
The Master of Science in Clinical Research Organization and Management offers students a rigorous graduate education taught by leaders from the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industry, as well as by clinicians representing various therapeutic specialties actively pursued by the clinical research industry.

The program provides online courses that include scientific rationale related to the design and analysis of clinical trials, biostatistics, ethics-based reasoning for the conduct of research, clinical trial management processes, and federal regulatory rules and policies essential to the development of a broadly-educated and well-prepared professional in clinical research and new therapeutic product investigation.

The program is designed so that graduates will be able to:

• Successfully apply the framework and philosophies of research to the management of clinical trials, employing quality principles of current good clinical practice to produce valid and useful data;
• Ensure that sound ethical principles and values are always recognized and upheld in research involving a human population;
• Use current statistical knowledge and methods in the design, implementation, conduct, and assessment of clinical trial management; and
• Understand the scientific and clinical research literature to effectively interpret the results of clinical research, thereby enhancing the decision-making process.

Students have the ability to custom-tailor their learning by enrolling in programs and courses in a variety of medical topics.
