Science and Risk Assessment in Regulation

Risk assessment using scientific data is critical for making sound regulatory decisions. However, the science used to assess risk varies widely across industries. Students investigate how scientific data is used in different fields and compare the risk assessment strategies used in different industries. Using case studies, students explore the validity of claims supported by different types of scientific data and discuss how risk assessment leads to effective risk management. In addition, students enhance their research skills and the ability to assess the credibility of sources.
