Program Overview

In earning this certificate, you’ll get to explore the world of moral theory, decision-making procedures in ethics, and the current literature of bioethics. Because this is an intensive, graduate-level program, you must have a bachelor’s degree. You can earn the graduate certificate in bioethics as a standalone certificate or in conjunction with a master’s or doctoral degree at ¿Û¿ÛÄÛ±Æ. Because we want this program to work with your schedule, we’ve incorporated a great deal of flexibility into the format. Our classes are offered on campus or online - so you can learn no matter where you are on the map. And because we want to accommodate your busy schedule, we’ve designed our online classes to be self-paced.

What to Expect

You’re going to begin your studies by learning to discern and critique the current competing approaches to ethics. This will give you the foundation to explore the meaning of ethics, the implications of technological advancements, and the Christian perspective on ethics. You’ll be challenged to discuss real-life circumstances including biotechnology, end-of-life issues, and conducting ethical research. All of these topics will be addressed in a way that affirms biblical truth, seriously answers objections, and provides relevant and practical knowledge to act on ethical principles. Whether you work in health care, research, or litigation, you’ll be equipped to make decisions that are not only legal, but ethically sound.
