LAUNCH Certificate Program

Clinical Trials Administration

The success of a biotech company depends on the complex process of verifying the effectiveness and safety of a potential new product - the clinical trial. This program prepares an individual to assist in designing and conducting a clinical trial.

The program consists of two prerequisite online courses, one week-long intensive class, followed by a series of online learning experiences and a capstone workshop, and may be completed in as few as six months. As preparatory courses are at the discretion of the student, fees for those classes are paid separately by the student.
