G-BSP-AM - Bioethics and Science Policy - Master's

The MA in bioethics and science policy requires a minimum of 36 credits, and can be earned in one year on a full-time basis (3 full semesters) or up to 3 years (6 semesters) on a part-time basis.

Requirements include:

• 4 required core classes (12 credits)

• 5 elective classes (15 credits): Students may select electives from an extensive list of options from across the University or may choose to concentrate by choosing electives from one of several “tracks.”

• 1 Capstone Project (9 credits): Each student will complete a capstone project under the guidance of a faculty mentor, either an in-depth research paper, or a field placement (“practicum”), with a written report analyzing the experience and integrating concepts learned in the program. The capstone project is designed to demonstrate that a student has acquired extensive knowledge of current thinking in bioethics; has collected, synthesized, and reflected on these issues; and has developed competence in scholarly writing.
