General requirements

The Master of Arts in Bioethics is a complementary degree program, rather than a terminal or professional degree, such as an MPH or MBA program. Therefore, our program has been crafted to work best for students who already have a graduate or professional degree, plan to pursue a professional degree program concurrently with our MA program (e.g., Nursing, Social Work, or Law) or otherwise have an established career in a health-related field.

Important Notice: The 2025 admissions criteria have changed for our Master's Program. Starting with the January 2025 application cycle, the department will only consider applications from Fellows sponsored by the Treuman Katz Center for Pediatric Bioethics and Palliative Care.
