St. Cloud State University

At St. Cloud State University (SCSU), the Master of Science in Applied Clinical Research (ACR) program provides students with the tools and competencies required to design, conduct, evaluate, and report human clinical trials. Graduates will understand the use of clinical evidence on the general population. They will accelerate their development, whether a new clinical research professional or a developing clinical research leader. The program is STEM-designated, and the faculty comprises a select group of industry experts.

The ACR graduate program is the only clinical research program in the United States focused on medical devices but inclusive of pharmaceuticals and combination products. Located in the heart of Medical Alley, the program is committed to a high-quality curriculum, a practical approach to learning (including culminating work experiences), and strong industry/healthcare partnerships. In July of 2024, the ACR graduate program at SCSU received accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP), demonstrating its high quality and commitment to maintaining academic standards in clinical research education.
