Graduate Certificate in Regulatory Policy and Health Systems at Northwestern University

Drawing from courses in the Public Policy & Administration and Regulatory Compliance programs, this certificate combines the theory and practice of public policy with a specific focus on regulatory policy from the perspectives of both those who must develop and implement policies and those organizations and industries that must comply with them. The public policy courses provide an overview of the many facets of the U.S. regulatory policy environment, while the regulatory compliance courses address the specific legal, ethical, and operational issues that the health and life sciences fields must contend with in complying with regulations meant to protect patients and consumers.
