News:

Regulatory Affairs is one of the most in-demand professions in the entire medical device industry. The regulatory affairs professional is critical to making safe and effective medical products available to patients worldwide.

St. Cloud State University's Master of Science in Regulatory Affairs and Services (MS-RAS) provides not only a solid education in regulatory affairs but also training in related areas of clinical affairs, quality systems, and health care reimbursement -- areas of expertise also in high demand by this industry.

The MS-RAS is led by Dr. Chuck Swanson, world renowned expert in regulatory affairs and former head of regulatory for Medtronic. The courses are taught by adjunct faculty who are leading experts in the industry. In addition, the program direction and evolution is being guided by an industry advisory board made up of some of the industry's most senior and experienced executive leadership in regulatory and related fields.
