The disciplinary purpose and ultimate goal of the program is to provide clinical professionals with the necessary preparation for successful careers in clinical research.

The CRP track is a 30 credit hour program designed to be completed in 2-3 years, on a part-time basis.

Successful graduates of the program will receive formal training in the management of clinical research, improving their abilities to coordinate and lead studies in a variety of settings, including academic health centers and pharmaceutical companies. Students will be able to demonstrate the organizational, communication, and operational skills needed to manage and execute complex clinical research projects; develop and implement procedures related to data management, research/regulatory documentation, and quality assurance; and lead and manage diverse clinical research teams effectively.

It is anticipated that most graduates of the program will hold positions as clinical research assistants, clinical research senior professionals, clinical research managers, clinical research directors, research nurses, clinical research coordinators (I-IV), senior clinical research coordinators, data managers, and research assistants.
