Quality Science Minor

The pharmaceutical, medical device, biotech, and consumer goods industries work to promote and protect patient health around the world. At the heart of our ability to affect patient lives is the necessity to develop and manufacture products that consistently meet the intended quality in a way that is supported by scientific research and data. This confidence in product safety and efficacy is grounded in quality science.

The Quality Science minor is designed to accelerate the readiness of students entering the life science industries by arming them with critical-thinking skills gained through immersion in science-based quality education and real-world experiences of the 21st century.

The holistic approach of the Quality Science minor combines the science, regulatory, and business acumen needed to:
-Mobilize enterprise-wide quality effectiveness grounded in science, data, stakeholder awareness, and regulatory intelligence.
-Proactively anticipate and manage risk, optimize value, and provide objectivity.
-Understand the business in which employees operate and how to positively affect the outcome.
-Establish innovative systems to increase the right-first-time rate of cross-functional stakeholders, thus bolstering consumer and regulatory confidence in product safety, efficacy, and intended use.
