This program can be completed online, on-campus, or a combination of the two.

As the field of Regulatory Affairs (RA) continues to grow, professionals with a thorough understanding of the complexities of medical product regulation and the role of the FDA and international bodies is in great demand. Northeastern University has developed a unique, online graduate program that will address regulatory affairs within each category of regulated agents: drugs, biologics, and medical devices. Graduates of the master's degree program will have the regulatory affairs knowledge valued not only by RA and QA departments, but also useful in medical product development, pharmaceutical sales, strategic marketing, and clinical investigations.

The campus-based or online Master of Science in Regulatory Affairs program for Drugs, Biologics, and Medical Devices is designed to educate and prepare RA professionals who will play a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations in the strategic development and commercialization of health care products of their company.

While this program can be an excellent complement to those with health- or science-related degrees, there are many rewarding career opportunities with regulatory affairs for individuals with a variety of backgrounds.
