Overview
Program highlights
An interdisciplinary professional program, Northwestern University’s part-time MSRC program addresses core areas of compliance, including risk management, quality science, practices and enforcement, as well as leadership and communication skills. The MSRC curriculum focuses on these core competencies while also stressing practical applications within the program’s three tracks: healthcare compliance, clinical research, and quality and regulatory science. MSRC graduates are prepared to assume leadership positions in healthcare compliance, clinical research compliance, and in quality and regulatory industries, including pharmaceutical, life sciences, food, and medical device industries. Even PhDs can significantly enhance their skill sets and find new professional opportunities in this increasingly important and sensitive field.
The Regulatory Compliance program at Northwestern University offers a thorough grounding in the interdisciplinary core competencies of regulatory compliance, including risk management, quality and regulatory science, leadership and communication skills. MSRC places a strong emphasis on practical application: courses are taught by industry experts with extensive experience navigating regulatory compliance challenges. MSRC’s partnership with Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine and Northwestern's Clinical and Translational Science Institute (NUCATS) is another benefit, enhancing the program with the latest insights on clinical research issues.
All courses are fully accredited. The MSRC program can be completed part time and is entirely online, allowing students anywhere to participate in the program while maintaining their personal and professional commitments. SPS online courses marry the best aspects of online technology with the interactivity of the classroom
