Bioethics Certificate

Those who work in fields involving human health face problems that are increasingly ethically complex, and to respond to such challenges in ways that are ethically acceptable, and even promote human flourishing, requires a honed attentiveness to morally relevant issues and virtues such as wisdom, courage, compassion, and justice. The purpose of the Bioethics Certificate is to prepare students for excellence in their respective vocations, and this not only in the technical sense—laying the foundation for proficiencies needed for those professions—but also in a moral sense.

Through the certificate, students will learn the major methodological approaches to biomedical ethics and cover the most common issues that arise in bioethics and they will practice ethical reasoning about difficult historical cases and learn the history of the field:

  • The core courses are required as they will introduce students to the field of bioethics.
  • In the theoretical course, students will explore foundational questions in bioethics.
  • The applied bioethics courses each take a narrower focus on social and ethical issues as they relate to a specific domain of healthcare, medicine, or scientific research.

* For Undergraduates residing in Waco, courses taken can also count for majors and minors. The certificate will appear as a notation on your official transcript.
