The Master of Science in Biotechnology and Management degree requires the successful completion of 36 credits, including a capstone project.
The Quality Assurance and Regulatory Science Post-Baccalaureate Certificate requires 15 credits.
The two credentials taken separately require a total of 51 credits. However, following the pathway below, students can complete both credentials with as few as 42 earned credits.

If applicant does not hold a biology or related degree, prerequisites can be completed through the Mount’s online, self-paced supplemental bridge modules designed to provide an adequate foundation in chemistry, molecular biology, cell biology and genetics. These optional bridge modules are also available for those who have not taken these courses in the last several years and would like a refresher.

The Quality Assurance and Regulatory Science (QA/RS) post-baccalaureate certificate program is an online program designed for scientists and other professionals in the biotechnology, biopharmaceutical, and quality related industries who are seeking advanced training and knowledge in the areas of quality assurance, risk assessment, quality control, and regulatory compliance.

These programs are available to be completed fully online with asynchronous and synchronous courses.
