Welcome to Johns Hopkins University’s
Master of Science in Regulatory Science Program!
Important Registration
Dates
Course Enrollment
We recommend that students
register for courses as soon as
possible once registration
opens. Courses fill up quickly
and early registration helps us
determine if more course
sections are necessary.
NOTE: To maintain their visa
status, students with an F-1
visa may be required to be
enrolled in a minimum of three
courses each Fall and Spring
term, of which only one can be
an online course. If you are an
international student, we do not
recommend planning to
complete the program onsite
as the number of onsite
courses are limited.

Regulatory Science program! The program offers students the ability to focus on biotechnology
regulatory studies. It is especially well-suited for those who are interested in a regulatory career. The
MS in Regulatory Science is a 10-course, part-time degree program that can be completed entirely
online. The program’s curriculum prepares students to lead regulatory affairs initiatives in government
and industry.
