CBLS Programs

• MBA Program in the Business of Life Sciences

• An Executive Certificate in the Business of Life Sciences for professionals already working in the industry

Business of Life Sciences Courses

• Two 1.5 credit hour courses, offered once each year:– X519 Life Sciences Industry from Research to Patient– X518 Life Science Global Events and Trends

• Courses are special for three reasons:1) Each session features 2-3 guest lecturers, providing students significant industry networking opportunities2) Student teams work with the IU Research & Technology Corp to develop commercialization plans for a recent discovery/invention coming from IU labs or the IUSM3) Students from other parts of IU (e.g., Optometry, Arts and Sciences, Law, Informatics, Medicine) can take the courses and are assigned to project teams with MBA students. Team members obtain “real world” experience dealing cross-functionally.
