New Masters in Bioethics at Wake Forest

Master of Arts in Bioethics Wake Forest University

Bioethics addresses ethical and policy issues raised by the biosciences and their applications, reaching from the laboratory to health care delivery to industry and government, affecting both individuals and society.  The MA in Bioethics at Wake Forest University will equip graduates to practice, teach, or conduct research about bioethics — as integral to the work of health care, biotechnology, and the basic sciences.  The MA provides an educational opportunity at the graduate level for current and future professionals, including health care providers, researchers in biomedicine and the life sciences, lawyers, and professionals in religion, health and research administration, and the biotechnology industry.  The program has two characteristic emphases – Bioethics in Social Context and Bioethics and Biotechnology.

Applications for Fall 2009 are being accepted now.  Full-time students can complete the degree in slightly less than a calendar year.  Part-time students have up to 6 years to complete the 30-hour degree.
