Why Earn Your Certificate in Biochemical Regulatory Engineering?

The Biochemical Regulatory Engineering Post-Baccalaureate Certificate guides students through the ins and outs of the FDA process and explores the numerous considerations that can help ensure product approval and sustainable regulatory compliance status. Professionals from leading bioscience companies and government agency organizations participate in this program.

The FDA must be involved at every step of product development, so knowing the internal framework of the FDA review and marketing authorization process can be a significant advantage for your career growth. UMBC’s post-baccalaureate program in biochemical regulatory engineering bridges the gap between your technical expertise and business knowledge of biochemical product development. Students in this program also gain insight from guest lecturers from the private and public sectors who have direct hands-on experience with various biotechnology topics.
