Northeastern University reports it has created a master’s program in regulatory sciences.
The program will cover the scientific and technological basis for production, regulatory approval, and subsequent monitoring of biopharmaceutical substances, according to the school. Northeastern noted in a press release the difference between regulatory science and regulatory affairs, which focuses on development and enforcement of regulations through administrative protocols.
Applicants to the program must have a bachelor’s degree in biology, chemistry, chemical or biochemical engineering, pharmaceutical science, or a related discipline.
The program will be the first master’s degree in regulatory science in the United States, according to Northeastern. The school said the program will offer a laboratory component and co-op opportunities.
The school’s trustees approved the addition in November 2009.
