Overview
The Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance program at Temple University blends regulatory science with quality practices, teaching students how to interpret and apply the latest domestic and global regulations in their current industry career. This is a non-thesis MS program that can be completed in-person or online.
Most RA and QA students work full time, so many pursue their degree on a part-time basis, taking one or two courses per term, conveniently scheduled on weeknights or weekends. It is also possible to complete the RA and QA MS on a full-time basis by taking three courses (nine credit hours) per semester.
The program is designed so that students may earn a certificate before applying to the program. All courses earned in the certificate will count toward the master’s.
