The college is launching a two-year Master’s program in Regulatory Science and Health Safety (MSRSHS) to increase regulatory and safety competencies among health professionals. Students and professionals who qualify will be commissioned in the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) Commissioned Corps (http://www.usphs.gov/default.aspx) and will receive tuition, housing allowance, and a competitive salary with active duty benefits (http://www.usphs.gov/aboutus/questions.aspx#whatare) during their studies.
