MA in Bioethik

The Ethics program has been created to prepare students to engage in education, research, and service related to current ethical issues in health care. Typically, this degree is an excellent pathway to graduate work at the doctoral level or is a skill set to complement health care careers or other professions such as clinical ethics, theology, law, counseling, and education.

Throughout the program, you will explore historical traditions of ethical thought, gain skills in a clinical setting, and develop critical thinking skills for applying theory and values to contemporary, moral, and social issues. Your professors represent areas of expertise such as biblical scholarship, bioethics, sociology of religion, and ethical theory. Also, clinical faculty from across all health care professions are involved in the program. This diversity of specialists provides you with a rich and balanced program of study.
