Clinical research is defined as the study of a drug, biologic, or device in human subjects with the intent to discover potential beneficial effects and/or determine its safety and efficacy. Our program focuses on contemporary clinical research methods geared toward the development of new and improved therapies and diagnostics. Students take specific courses in data management, statistics, managing and monitoring clinical trials, regulatory affairs, and physical and clinical assessment, just to name a few.

In addition to our exceptionally qualified full-time faculty that have extensive experience in clinical research, the department also employs many adjunct professors currently working in the pharmaceutical industry. The professional experiences of the full time and adjunct professors allow for classes to be tailored to meet the growing needs and changes within the field of clinical research. To meet the growing demand for working adults interested in our program, the Department of Clinical Research has developed a completely online program beginning Fall 2014. The online program offers our students greater flexibility and time management to accommodate the professional and personal demands of our students. Our program can benefit students in all walks of life, ranging from working professionals, students in other professional educational programs, as well as individuals desiring to enhance their employment opportunities.

This educational background gives students the opportunity to further develop their leadership skills, better comprehend health care needs, and enhance their careers by learning to perceive issues from a broader perspective than their colleagues.
