Certificate in Clinical Research Management
Certificates ≫
The Certificate in Clinical Research Management is designed primarily for individuals with clinical research responsibilities who want the formal course work to complement their skills and experience in the field.
This certificate program targets key processes for managing research protocols that develop and use drugs, devices and treatments for patient care. The program focuses on the scientific methods of clinical research, good clinical practice, research ethics and the regulatory guidelines that protect human subjects, all of which are integral components of clinical trial management in academic research or pharmaceutical industry settings.
There are no formal requirements for admission to undergraduate certificates. Students should speak with an academic advisor regarding their preparation for specific certificates or courses.
US Citizenship or Eligible Noncitizen
International students interested in the certificate programs must hold a visa that permits part-time study (including F-2 and J-2 visas). Students holding F-1 visas are not eligible for these programs. Students holding a B-2 visa may be eligible if the coursework is recreational or avocational in nature.
NOTE
University College is designed for students with adult responsibilities who may require part-time and flexible course schedules. Current high school students and recent graduates seeking a traditional WashU college experience should apply through the undergraduate admissions office: admissions.wustl.edu.
