What kind of MS graduate degree is recommended for clinical trial research?

[ariyuan]

I am an undergraduate interested in clinical trial research for the pharmaceutical industry.

What kind of graduate programs should I be looking into? Is biomedical science a good program to get into to prepare me for this career?

Thank you for your help 🙂

A clinical research masters. I know they offer one at UC San Diego and UCSF w/Berkeley released a Translational Research masters recently.

A lot of them are for post-doctoral students. What should I do if I only have a bachelor's?

The 2 that I mentioned accept undergraduate students. The alternative is to go into a PhD program and work in a clinical research lab. Another thing you may do is a certificate program like the one at UCB-Extension and work as a CRA.
