New graduate program in Pharmaceutical Technology Management
HOBOKEN, N.J. — The Wesley J. Howe School of Technology Management at Stevens Institute of Technology announces a new graduate program in Pharmaceutical Technology Management.
Technology plays a vital role in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Advances in, robotics, in silico simulation, high-throughput synthesis and screening, genomics, and information technology, to name a few, present tremendous opportunities and challenges.
In addition, most pharmaceutical companies engage in numerous strategic alliances and partnerships, which now almost always involve the sharing and management of advanced technologies as well as complex intellectual property issues.
Managing sophisticated technological environments is no longer the sole responsibility of the information technology department. Scientists, clinicians and other business people are increasingly called upon to manage complex technological environments or to deal extensively with those who do. Pressures on pricing, the rising cost and complexity of R&D, regulatory pressures, patent expirations and the explosion of new technology are all combining to form an unprecedented set of challenges for today’s pharmaceutical companies.
This new program is available with several options including a four course graduate certificate program, as a concentration in the MS in Management program and as a major in the MBA program.
The Graduate Certificate requires that students take three core courses covering Managing Pharmaceutical Research and Development, Sales, Marketing and Supply Chain, and Introduction to Pharmaceutical Manufacturing. Students may then choose one additional elective. Options include Trends and Issues in the Pharmaceutical Industry and Regulatory and Ethical Issues in the Pharmaceutical Industry.
