The Bioethics
Program is competency-based and interdisciplinary. It acknowledges
that bioethical decisions must be rooted in precedent and best practices
and must reflect the broadest range of perspectives - from
medical and legal to philosophical and religious. Working professionals
typically complete the program in two to three years. Full time students
may complete the program in one year.
The Master of Science program
is designed to meet the needs of working professionals, comply with
the requirements of national accrediting and funding agencies, and
impart the skills and knowledge recommended by the
American Society
of Bioethics and Humanities
. Nine of the 12 required courses are
taught via distance learning by
internationally recognized experts in bioethics
. On-line courses are complemented by an
on-site seminar,
practica,
individual master's projects, and
capstone assessments.
The
Bioethics Program attracts students from Japan, the Czech Republic,
Canada, Poland and around the globe - working professionals in fields
such as health care, research, law, social work, and government.
Over the course of the program, students interact on-line and in
person, becoming a community of colleagues whose different perspectives
enrich their educational experience. The resulting relationships
continue throughout their careers.
