About the course

Since its establishment in 1968, Temple's Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance program has played a significant role in training pharmaceutical company personnel in regulations and quality principles and practices. Its courses meet the career requirements of professionals in the pharmaceutical and related industries. The program provides students with a broad knowledge of the industry, fostering their professional development and preparing them for supervisory and managerial positions. Located on Temple University's bustling Health Sciences Center campus, the School of Pharmacy strives to bridge the gaps between drug discovery, preclinical basic research, and translation medicine. We are positioned to continue to provide leadership in our educational mission, while also pursuing innovative research. In conjunction with both of these efforts, we train future researchers in pharmaceutical sciences, drug discovery and development, and basic preclinical and translational research. In recent years, the School of Pharmacy has enjoyed tremendous growth in our research enterprise. We have established several centers of excellence for scientific study across a wide range of disciplines. The Temple University Drug Discovery Initiative, launched in 2010, has resulted in a substantial expansion of our research facilities and an increase in the number of talented and accomplished researchers joining our faculty and staff.
