HOW TO APPLY

Application Prerequisites
20 participants will be accepted for the first cohort. Applicants must meet the following qualifications:

• A bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in a science discipline, health sciences, engineering or law
• One-to-three years of professional experience in the medical products industry desired
• Previous course work in basic statistics and/or writing desired

International Applicants
An international student is defined as any person who is not a U.S. citizen and does not hold a U.S. Permanent Resident Visa. The definition of an international student also includes those who hold U.S. visas, such as an F-1 visa, exchange visitors, and other non-immigrant classifications.

Due to time required to process international applicants, it is recommended to submit the application and transcripts to the Office of Graduate Admissions as soon as possible.

International applicants must submit additional required materials to the Graduate School.


English Proficiency
For more information, please refer to the English Language Ability for Admission to the Graduate School memorandum.


Waivers
All students must satisfy a minimum of 45 credits to graduate. Students who have completed either the UW Biomedical Regulatory Affairs or Clinical Trials certificates courses prior to entering the program may instead obtain academic credit by completing an independent study project, or one of the elective courses recommended by the program, for additional professional development.

Requests will be assessed on an individual basis by the program director. Requests for waivers or substitutions will not be granted for any other reason.
