Biomedical Ethics Curriculum

Discover the Biomedical Ethics Curriculum

Biomedical ethics is an interdisciplinary program designed to introduce students to ethical issues that arise in health care and health care research. Students will take courses in biology, ethnic studies, philosophy, psychological sciences and sociology within the College of Arts and Sciences, as well as courses from the business and nursing schools.

Minor

Our biomedical ethics minors are required to have a basic background of biology coursework, and will pursue a curriculum that includes 18 credit hours, beginning with a course on basic ideas and concepts in biomedical ethics, followed by a choice of other relevant humanities courses.

Each student declares their major(s) and minor(s) under a single catalog of record that is identified on the student's degree audit (available on Degree Works).
