Bioethics Certificate Program (14 credits)
Courses in the program can be taken in the classroom or online.
The practice of medicine and medical research impacts all of our lives, potentially helping us or harming us in significant ways. Bioethics is the study of ethical issues that arise in our efforts to advance medical technology and improve human health. In the Bioethics Certificate Program, students will learn how to think through complex ethical issues such as physician-assisted dying, decision-making for incompetent patients, access to healthcare, stem cell research, and the use of genetic technology in reproductive choices.
