Admission Requirements

  • To be considered for the Sterile Process Manufacturing Certificate, candidates must have a degree from an accredited institution of higher learning. (A degree in science or engineering is suggested but not mandatory.) 
  • All courses must be completed from Temple University’s RA and QA graduate program. No transfer credits from other institutions are accepted. If a student has completed an identical course at an accredited U.S. graduate school, the student may petition the RA and QA program to waive that course and take another approved elective in its place. This request must be made in writing and approved before the student pursues the certificate. 
  • Candidates must formally apply and follow the application procedures (application form, photocopies of transcripts and Notice of Completion). 
  • Only one certificate program may be completed before students receive the RA and QA MS. 
  • The certificate must be completed within three years. Students must apply for the certificate no more than one year after completing the course requirements. 
  • Students interested in pursuing the RA and QA MS degree may apply all credits earned in the Certificate in Sterile Process Manufacturing towards their graduate degree, provided they formally apply for admission to the MS program and are accepted by Temple University’s graduate school.
