Graduate Certificate in Bioethics
Students can get a Graduate Certificate in Bioethics from the IU – Indianapolis School of Liberal Arts. The certificate in bioethics offers a one-year program of study in a rapidly growing field that requires educated and trained theorists and practitioners. IU Indianapolis is home to one of the nation’s largest health-profession complexes, with the nation’s second largest school of medicine and largest multi-purpose school of nursing.
Students who pursue the graduate certificate in bioethics will have a number of employment opportunities. Some may choose to continue on to a terminal degree (M.A. or Ph.D.) program in philosophy or bioethics, after which they can be expected to compete for research or faculty positions. Others may choose to complete the certificate in concert with a professional degree in medicine, science, nursing, health sciences, or law. Professionals already employed in health-related fields can expect that the certificate will enhance their professional credentials. A graduate certificate in bioethics will be useful to those responsible for policy analysis and development (e.g., on ethics committees), compliance (e.g., in risk management or institutional review-board positions), or teaching and education (e.g., in continuing education programs). This certificate will also be useful to professionals working in legislative or other policy positions.
Students pursuing the certificate can apply to be a Graduate Assistant in the IU Center for Bioethics, which provides tuition, health insurance, and a stipend.
