University Transfer Options

Clinical Researchers use scientific investigation to determine the safety and effectiveness of medications, medical devices, procedures, and treatment protocols for medical use. In a bachelor’s degree program in clinical research, students develop a strong background in science and study government regulations, data management, and management of clinical trials.

Graduates of clinical research degree programs find careers in pharmaceutical companies, universities, contract research organizations (CROs), and government agencies.

Students have two paths to a bachelor's degree in Clinical Research:
