SAS Training with a Pharmaceutical emphasis:

Introduction to SAS and Intermediate SAS taught by Daphne Ewing at Arcadia University in Glenside, PA (just north of Philadelphia). Introduction to SAS is a Fall class, with the Intermediate SAS class taught in the Spring semester. Although some exceptions are granted, the Intermediate SAS class assumes the Introductory class as a prerequisite.

These classes are taught in the evening (7:10pm) at Arcadia's Glenside campus. These classes are taught in a lab where each student gets hands-on experience with SAS using Pharmaceutical data and examples. If you have any questions about these classes, please contact Dr. Ned Wolff at Arcadia (215.572.2984 or wolff@arcadia.edu wolff@arcadia.edu) or contact the registrar registrar@arcadia.edu for enrollment information. The class size is limited and on a first come, first served basis, so REGISTER EARLY.
