Program Courses

Please note that course schedules may be amended due to low enrollment, faculty availability, and/or other factors.

Online Sync Sessions are an integral part of the online learning experience. Additional information about learning concepts and assignments may be discussed and sync sessions offer valuable opportunities for students to interact with their faculty and peers during the term. We encourage all students to attend live, but if they are unable to, sync sessions will be recorded and posted within Canvas to allow for an asynchronous model of success as well.

MSRC 498-DL : Capstone

Description

 Students choose a real-life case study and apply the Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control (DMAIC) methodology to solve the challenges as they navigate through barriers encountered in each phase of the DMAIC methodology.

The course focuses on compliance and quality programs, clinical research, and uses processes and procedures such as conducting risk assessments, audits and investigations, communicating to executives, monitoring compliance to mitigate risk, and response to compliance investigations, violations and corrective actions, that students will employ in their careers.

The capstone project course is the culmination of the MSRC program and demonstrates to faculty a student's mastery of the curriculum and core competencies in the regulatory field.

Pre-requisite: Students may take one other course simultaneously with MSRC 498. All other course requirements must have been completed prior to the commencement of this course.

Note: Registration for this course will close one week prior to the start of the term.
