The biomedical industry has grown rapidly, and this has fueled a large — and largely unmet — demand for regulatory professionals, both nationally and internationally. The USC Master’s in Regulatory Science program arose to meet this growing need.

As one of the nation’s oldest and largest regulatory science programs, graduates are in great demand and are employed in industry, government, consulting and academia. Our alumni are leaders in a field designed to meet industry and governmental challenges in speeding up delivery of medical advances to people who need them, while ensuring that safety standards are met.

Courses are offered on weekends to accommodate working professionals. Students set their own pace, taking as many courses as they wish to take each semester. Career support is offered to all students and alumni, including recruitment events, career fairs and regular distribution of job postings from companies nationally and internationally.

What are some biggest advantages of the USC master’s in regulatory science program?

“The program provides a lot of opportunities — from career fairs to expert guest speakers from industry. Being able to meet all these people while a student is one of the best things about this program. Our classmates also bring unique perspectives from their own experience working for different companies.”
