Professional Graduate Series

Professional Graduate Series in Quality Assurance and Regulatory Science (5 Units)

For students who desire a shorter program of study, SCS offers professional graduate series that accommodate a variety of student learning objectives. They are designed to make returning to school more manageable for busy professionals and students who want only to focus on a particular area of study or earn a professional credential. Each series is designed to function both as a complete educational experience and as a portal to further study for a graduate degree.

Admissions standards and requirements for the professional graduate series are identical to those for the corresponding master's degree programs, so students may be confident that their educational experience will be rigorous but cost a fraction of the time and tuition required for a full degree. Students may transfer to the degree program and earn credit for any professional graduate series course completed with a grade of B or higher.

The professional graduate series usually can be completed in a year by taking one or two courses per quarter. It must be completed within two years of the date of acceptance. Upon successful completion of course work, students receive a certificate.
