My preferred University-
 If I were to go for MS in RA,  Arizona State University would be my most preferred one for the following reasons-

1.The course is developed in collaboration with USFDA (the most respected Regulatory agency in the world) and the students will receive guest lectures from FDA personnel.
2. Chance for internship with FDA's CDER.
3.The fees and cost living will be much less than most of the  above universities.
4.The competition for admission will be probably less as the university is not much famous.

2. I listed the Institutes in the decreasing order of my personal preferences based on the credibility of institutes/colleges, year of establishment, popularity etc.

3.Apart from the above colleges , I came across several other institutes/colleges offering courses in Pharmaceutical Regulatory Affairs but I didn't list them because I seriously doubt their authenticity and credibility.
