Global Pharmaceutical Society partners with Stevens WebCampus to offer discounts to members

HOBOKEN, N.J. ― WebCampus, Stevens Institute of Technology’s award-winning online unit, today announced a partnership with the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE) to provide its 25,000 Members with discounts on the school’s leading-edge online graduate programs.

As a result of this partnership, ISPE is able to provide its Members an additional benefit: ISPE Members will receive a ten percent rebate from Stevens’ off their Web Campus tuition, potentially equaling thousands of dollars over the course of completing a master’s degree.

ISPE Members now have access to a number of flexible options to deepen their knowledge of the industry with two master’s degrees plus five four-course graduate certificates in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing, from the Schaefer School of Engineering and Science, that integrate the study of pharmaceutical manufacturing concepts together with advanced engineering design and scientific techniques.

In addition to these engineering programs, the Howe School of Technology Management at Stevens offers master’s degrees with pharmaceutical industry tracks in either Pharmaceutical Management or Information Systems, as well as four-course graduate certificates in Pharmaceutical Management and Pharmaceutical IT that are also being offered online. A new curriculum for Healthcare IT management and other related courses are also under development to round out Stevens’ commitment to the industry.

WebCampus now provides an additional education channel for ISPE Members to fulfill their licensure requirements. Traditional delivery options include on-campus courses at Stevens for full-time and part-time evening and Saturday students. Some programs also offer graduate courses at company locations for student cohort groups of about twenty-five students.

Recognized as the "best online university" by the Sloan Foundation, WebCampus supports the online delivery of nearly 200 courses, allowing students to complete 16 different master’s degrees and 37 graduate certificate programs. For accreditation information, please visit www.webcampus.stevens.edu.
