Hello All,
I have almost a year of experience in pre-clinical development dealing with CMC sections of NDA, IND and BLA. I am interested in transitioning to Regulatory Affairs. I want to pursue a MS and cannot decide which ones I should consider. I am currently working full time. So I will only be looking for an online masters. Also, my company would pay around $ 10,000 a year for tuition reimbursement. Given the facts, the universities that I am considering and the reasons are listed below. Please advice.
1. Johns Hopkins University
The program is good. It is very expensive though. The only reason I would want to go to JHU is for the name and reputation. I am not sure how it will really help me get a job or in near future. Does it really matter 5 years from now, if I get a degree from JHU. Also, the program is from the College of Professional studies. It is not from the School of Medicine.
2. University of Maryland, School of Pharmacy
This program has 5 courses (6 credits each). And you have to take them one after another. There is very little flexibility with the courses. But It would be nice to have a degree from a School of Pharmacy. The tuition is cheaper too. It comes to around $ 31,000
3. North-Eastern University
I have been thinking about this program. It is very flexible and convenient. It is quite cheap too. ($28,000).
4. Massachussetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences
This program is the cheapest of all. Not sure about the reputation and if I will be able to get jobs
I have noticed some universities have changed their degrees to Regulatory Science, instead of Regulatory Affairs. Why is that ?I have also thought about USC, Temple and UGA. But those just didn?t appeal to me. I would appreciate any help. I want to start a Masters soon. I need to make a decision ASAP. Also, does it really matter where you obtain your Masters in Regulatory Affairs ?
Thanks,
Decent.
